Carlin Isles: The Story Behind the Fastest Man in Rugby

[@zedlepplin9450]

"...to show God...everything you've given me, I didn't take it for granted" -Carlin Isles true athlete and a role model right here

[@kimberlyables2915]

such a nice person..signed autographs with a sincere smile..made this mama happy

[@PhilippOriginal]

I feel happy for him

[@7s29]

He's been blessed with speed, seems to have a good head on his shoulders.

[@onelove3584]

God blessed. May you live for LONG TIME😍🙏🏽

[@glam2gobeauty811]

Carlin we are so proud of you. I looked at the comments and for every hater on here that's one more step towards greatness. So y'all keep hating on my nephew on KZbin ...because in real life you all will NEVER BREAK HIS SPIRIT. 👊

[@leg236]

that boy is fu..ing awesome!

[@glam2gobeauty811]

+leg236 thank you and God bless

[@tdeal67]

Love his hard work ethic. You can see improvement in his game from season to season. One of my fav’s

[@jordanpolicicchio679]

so inspirational

[@peruface]

the secret is that he really DOESN'T drink Red bull

[@zachsyndy]

+peruface True haha, but to be honest Redbull isn't just a drink. Redbull is an organization that promotes athletic skill and to push and motivate people to do what they love.

[@peruface]

Zach Syndergaard YEAH that parts cool

[@jimmyku5070]

Whenever you see them on tv or at events, their cans a full of water

[@propdouchebag]

[@tymesho]

[@maximoore98]

What are the black and blue trainers called that he is wearing at 1:44 and 1:57?

[@tymesho]

wow, blessed by God.

[@Karma7711]

Respect to him for choosing Rugby. I bet there is a hell of a lot more money in American Football than there is in Rugby.

[@XpaulX300]

beast!

[@nicholasbridgemohan]

Well his foster mom must be really proud. He mad fast

[@petercram9691]

why did 40 people thumbs down this?

[@raslc]

+Peter Cram Because they weren't fast enough.

[@MikeyReadman]

+Peter Cram A lot of jealous losers out there, man.

[@c-spayne8401]

[@DENNIS-ny5ij]

the oval ball is a family

[@stevemungai2537]

thanks to God for you

[@mertkaaraca]

wow that ıs awsome

[@vinrusso821]

This guy was an average running back in college. If they got all of the best a fastest, hardest hitting players, and train them, they would be awesome. Football has so many track runners, and many are over 100 kilo's. Linebackers weigh 115 kilo's and some of them run the 100 in the 10's. It would be interesting. Of course D-lineman in the scrum. Big and fast.

[@aup007]

could you name even one lb that is over 115 that can run the 100m in less than 11 seconds?

[@danieladkins9826]

He used to go to my rival high school

[@michaelfieldus7174]

anyone tell me what the black zip up nike hoodie is called?

[@toddpiedad651]

This man is my coach

[@GamerXpert0202]

+Todd Piedad is he actually

[@toddpiedad651]

+GamerXpert0202 Yeah, I train at the Chula Vista olympic training center where he is currently training for the olympics. He helps out the sprinters on the team, as well as helping with general work outs.

[@GamerXpert0202]

thats amazing dude ur a lucky man getting coached by him

[@toddpiedad651]

+GamerXpert0202 Yeah he's great. Very knowledgable as well as funny. It's always a good day training with Carlin.

[@GamerXpert0202]

Ya totally

[@gainsbytrini]

Anyone know the Nike kicks he’s rocking?

[@han-kb9rn]

Im telling the principles that his running at the corridor

[@emersonfnogueira]

TOP.

[@loganlash0]

I believe the women 5 from the bottom included the the little girl is my friends mom and yes my friend is related to Carlin Isles, I went to the same park that he was jogging in and I was in that same school before that he was in, Polar Bears for life, 1:15 pause and look in the background

[@farhannazmi2136]

l made him as my role model in rugby..!

[@maxwiili]

Kenya for the win

[@shabwazgame1235]

I live in Massillon

[@michaelmbz8182]

I always wonder why he gets the spotlight while Perry Baker is in his shadow

[@ausraider]

Out of all the world class Union players you could have profiles you choose to do it on someone who runs fast rather than someone who is good at union.

[@peytonroyall1787]

this guy plays for USA

[@EduMrTeiks]

Tie your shoelaces or you will fall 3:06

[@malleneymar11]

the laces don't even touch the floor

[@raslc]

+Eduardo Madrid He's so fast, that the shoelaces will never catch between the ground and the floor.

[@IXAuxiliary]

omg imagine if he was on Fifa ultimate team. Run past everyone in to the net with the ball!

[@danielfadavi]

Problem is, the gym has no windows

[@alinorman]

Who jogs with their laces undone? haha

[@toddpiedad651]

+Ali Norman He never ties his shoes

[@RollOnToVictory]

Does anyone know why he didn't pursue football? Seems like he would have been a quality grab for Ohio State or Cincinnati, was it grades or just no recruiting buzz? Honestly want to know since football seems to poach any and all rugby potential in the US. love to know what made him turn down the gridiron (or if he even had a choice).

[@RollOnToVictory]

Here's his recruit page. an unranked 2 star. n.rivals.com/content/prospects/maple/65106 only one D1 school gave any attention, Akron.

[@Wunel]

Yeah man, there's a good little video about it on YT somewhere. Basically he wanted to do something in athletics because he was super fast (obviously), I think he was rated 44th fastest in America at one point. Turned out 44th isn't quite fast enough for an international career in athletics but he wanted to do something fast and seeing rugby 7s made him realise how much opportunity there was for him to run in rugby compared to NFL (in terms of minutes per game spent running around people). Basically, he wanted to go faster than anybody around him and rugby 7s gave him the opportunity to go faster than anyone else on the field.

[@Wunel]

Ironically, a junior gridiron coach is supposed to have said that Carlin was incredibly fast but too small for the NFL; the exact same thing was said about the Australian NRL's Jonathon Thurston when he was a junior ("too small, can't tackle"), Thurston is now the most decorated NRL player in history and spoken of as one of the greatest to ever play the game of rugby league. Isles' weakness is his tackling, and you can see him improve every time he runs out. He's already stupidly fast and could easily become the greatest 7s player in history - admittedly with less competition than most sports given how young and small 7s is. He's an exhilarating player and even as an Australian, nobody makes me sit up in my seat like Carlin Isles.

[@brockhawkins7771]

I went to highschool where carlin went Jackson High School baby

[@KevinZuppe]

I'll bet

[@wlaterwhite4297]

You a bitch

[@sereanaduwai8313]

Speed doesn't mean too much in rugby 7's! The Fijians ain't that fast yet they win more tournaments ! That says a lot about speed.

[@biorngoxhaj868]

Does he play rugby of nfl

[@MikeyReadman]

+Biorn Goxhaj USA rugby 7s team.

[@holeindanssock156]

@peruface Right. He doesnt touch the stuff. Dieting is so complicated and important. But truthfully...about 14% of the populaion can afford a high end athletic training program. Dieting. Yo eating healthy is expensive as shit starting about 4 years ago with all the grounds moisture problems. :) Life. Ahhhhhhh

[@v.r1261]

He looks like Aubaneyang the fastest player in football/soccer

[@SuperBrendan3]

Lol no he's not stop looking at Fifa stats you pricm

[@Godzirra-San]

+V.R 1 There is no fastest in football as their top speed can be inconsistent.

[@tobylikesbikes]

How did that hit from pulu feel?? lol

[@198746779838]

yea I thought that exact same thing bro.... he got smashed, I'm just glad their not trying to say he's the best, he's far from it but he's definetly the fastest

trying to be the odell of rugby

[@pombamz1]

HAHA 2:10

[@TheRydar]

Is it because he is from the USA that he is automatically the fastest? Brain Habana has been the fastest for the last 10 years! Have they raced before? the US dont know shit about rugby.

[@198746779838]

lol bro Carlin will destroy habana in a race..... if you know 7s rugby then u know its true.... don't get me wrong habana is quick but Carlin is quicker

[@earljellicoe5732]

It's because Carlin ran a 10.1 second 100m. That's by far the fastest ever verified time ran by a rugby player.

[@MikeyReadman]

+Rydar Idiot.

[@KX5Kat]

He is, Habana's 100m PB was 10.4. So technically, Isles is currently the fastest recorded rugby player over 100m. As a 100m sprinter myself, track speed is NOT the same as rugby speed though (I dabbled in some rugby too). Sprinters are trained and conditioned to have linear bio-mechanics, we are not trained for rapid direction changes, it's a totally different skill set. Rugby is a game of skill. Speed means nothing unless you have great ball skills and are able to work with your team.

[@finnfrost-jackson139]

bruh I swear everybody just says that cause they hate the US. Im not American but accept it

[@martinfiaysr4942]

NFL pay over 100mil Rugby 1m if your good , which is it ?

[@Sonnguyen1961]

Hey. Bro if Yu thinks. Yu fast. So should trying to players in rugby 15 guy and much more. At list 25 team each side.

der dendunichtkennst agreed

[@pieterrossouw8596]

is he though? the fastest in the world? No disrespect to the guy but I mean he's american and they like assuming that they are the best at everything. For example the world series with only american teams? I'd like to actually see this tested, because just because some commentators called him 'the fastest man in rugby' doesn't actually make it so, it's just a good catch-phrase.

[@neb7851]

he is by far the fastest I've seen its insane his pace looks like the video is sped up😂he was nearly an Olympic sprinter so my guess is he defiantly is

[@pieterrossouw8596]

maybe, my point is I'd like to see it tested. How does he compare to say Seabelo Senatla and other renowned 7s speedsters? If he is the fastest, by how much?

[@realityvimto9157]

no he is the fastest rugby player in he world even faster than brian habana he is the 140th fastest man in america

[@kingkabikabza2251]

stop being jealous!

[@pieterrossouw8596]

「God of Gods」 you do know that the size of a rugby field is nowhere near 300m, even if you ran the biggest curve imaginable...

[@CraftLulz]

lol 7s is a joke, not real rugby at all. He would not survive in a 15s match

[@chrisfalcon9804]

mediocre at most
