Jamaica's 4x400m men failed to qualify for Paris | SportsMax Zone

[@andrehenry3212]

Legendary!!!!! Thank you Sir Mills for your great contribution to Jamaican Athletics, sorry I mean International Athletics. One of the greatest doing now.

[@AllInTheGame01]

A M4x4 Squad of Watson, Bailey, Watkin, Powell, Hayles, Barnes & Clarke needs actual time together!

[@mrkct8884]

Ricardo and Lance, great interview and good job in getting the guru, Glen Mills in the studio. But @sportsmax what happened to uploading part 3? You left us hanging?

[@barushka4698]

Why not ask Mills why he never made his athletes available?

[@markywiz]

Watch the entire interview

[@Richard-s1d9s]

Ricardo playing the buttering up, soft shoe, grin teeth card interviewing technique. 😮😊😢🤔

[@BlackAfrikan]

He did, and pretty much gave same answers as Frano.

[@Objectivity-w5j]

This video was is part 2 of 2 of the interview. Your "availability" question was answered in part 1.

[@omarfowlin2156]

​@@BlackAfrikanhe answered that our administration is still very amateurish and there is no planning. You have to give the coaches enough time and not spring a call at the ninth hr..

[@BlackAfrikan]

I’m not even sure if all of the JAAA/JOA are voted out🤷🏾‍♂️it would make a difference, because of the good ole boys club atmosphere that runs through our system. How can other nations get benefits of our physiotherapists before we do because you want to be cheap and not pay for their services? How???🤷🏾‍♂️ Why does not these two organizations work out a system of training more physiotherapist in Jamaica or overseas?

[@Philnobl]

GLEN MILLS PLEASE COME BACK AND TRAIN TRAIN JAMAICAN ATHLETE 'S.AGAIN!! SO HAPPY OTHER COUNTRIES KNOW YOU ARE KING COACH❤❤ LOVE AND BLESSINGS THANK YOU FOR MAKING JAMAICA GREAT!! YOU DON'T HAVE TO ANSWER THE QUESTIONS YOU DON'T LIKE! THOSE MEN WITH YOU THERE KNOW NOTHING ABOUT TRACK! LOVE AND BLESSINGS COACH BRILLIANT GLEN MILLS YOU ARE SO HUMBLE JUST LOVE YOU❤❤❤

[@MarvinFord]

The JAAA and JOA should be audited to see where resources are channeled. The numbers will tell a story of their ineptness.

[@StGCfiLife]

Time for JAAA to form a Pro coach advisory council!

[@sherwood9917]

Mills, Franno and other coaches have voiced similar concerns about JAAA and JOA, yet, year after year, nothing changes. What a thing: you consistently underperform in your job, yet your contract is guaranteed to be renewed.

[@rainfordhunter1121]

It’s my understanding that the President of the JAAA is not a paid position, if true, this needs to change.

[@carlmathews5778]

not being paid and making money in that role due to the influence is two completely different things.

[@SirHow]

It appears that the JAAA/JOA president’s, staff, coaches, agents and athletes do not know or understand the rules set by IOC and World Athletics. Knowing the rules is critical to being a successful athlete, Federation and country. I encourage everyone to spend some time reading all the rules.

[@colbournmck5260]

Due to JAAA'S extremely poor leadership over the years, they have completely lost the respect of Athletes, Coaches, Clubs & the public at large, therefore, it will be extremely difficult to have the Athletics Fraternity, coalesce around the JAAA's in a meaningful way, to achieve success, thus,. it's VITAL that there be new leadership àt the JAAA's, its the ONLY way.

[@jonathonspear9551]

The old boys club run the JAAA, and until that fraternity is broken up the country suffers

[@MarvinFord]

His comments illustrates that Jamaica expects the athletes to perform well and bring home gold medals with limited resources. It's shameful!

[@StGCfiLife]

Tek di big Adidas money and invest wisely!

[@jonathonspear9551]

Money is not the problem. Proper organization structure and planning is what is needed. With a good structure and people in place, lots of money is available…

[@margaretlaidley9832]

This is so damn sad it makes me want to cry. . . and to think that some of us including, myself were so highly critical of the athletes when all the time their potential was being stifled by the actions, or lack thereof, of the the JAAA and JOA---the blame should rightly be placed squarely at the feet of these two entities. It's a downright disgrace and malpractice, in my view, by the JAAA and, in particular, the JOA for the athletes to be on the receiving end of this sort of treatment . . . not having adequate therapist/medical staff for the preparation and rehabilitation of these our national icons, so that they could be at their very best when it counts. How can they justify having more medical personnel/therapists at the World Championships in Budapest . . . but one year later significantly reduce the number for the Paris Olympics, an event of even greater magnitude. . . .? Trying to get by on the cheap and with the undercurrent between these two bodies, it was the athletes who suffered most; but the sheen has also been rubbed off Jamaica's image as a premier track and field nation and replaced by a monstrous scar. Clean this mess up or resign en-bloc so that more competent and patriotic people can take the reins. Enough already!!

[@andrethompson5847]

1. Mills - those physios dont they have contracts with specific athletes so how Jamaica going to get them, outbid?. 2. isn't Mr. Turner the physio for hudson-smith 3. the headline is a bit misleading as it mention 4x400 but not much is said about 4x4

[@NIKI_E]

U have to watch part 1 of the interview where the 4x400m was talked about coming over into part 2.

@@NIKI_E That's fine, i am saying the headline is incorrect.

@@andrethompson5847 enough was said about it even here. Better preparations and strategic moves is key

[@CharmGreen-l2c]

Again you keep taking out faster athletes who prove themselves in the heat regardless if they are not in the top 3 at trials and that is the problem

[@terripennant9028]

No Mr Turner is not his physio

[@AltheaBrown-b5r]

The JAAA must be revamped. It appears that they do not care about track and field. Its like a nurse that dont care about patients, just in it for the salary. GET RID OF THE CURRENT JAAA MEMBERS AND REPLACE THEM WITH RETIRED ATHLETES.

[@sherwood9917]

Replacing them with retired athletes, in and of itself, does not guarantee the changes we seek.
