No SF failed to nurture Powell to master the last20 metres of the 100 so I wouldn't class him as a master. A master identify and deal with EVERY ASPECT NEEDING to be resolved regardless of who and what they need to do.

As Kishane said in an interview " I trust my coach"!! This trust is earned over time. Francis may be accused of being brash, outspoken, 'inna yuh face' etc, but he obviously knows what he's doing! Apparently his athletes trust and believe in him too! Nuff big ups to MVP Guru Franno!

Frano does not play, he had to wrap up the interview!! He's quite level-heqded & grounded, great to see!!!

[@barrylloyd5864]

He ran off as soon as the task master , Franno, called--LOL! It is of interest to note that he said that he does not know how to mange his speed, and was not able to follow his coaches instructions to run only 60m. Veterans such as Sherika know how to do this, so for those of us who are worried about her, dont be, she was following her coach's instruction not to run fast. Jamaica wins both male and female 100m at Paris.

[@JappaKneads]

Be your quiet confident self Kishane! Not everyone can be flamboyant and amiable like Bolt... or loud & arrogant like Lyles...😊😊

[@AJ-bh7vm]

Lyles is trying to hard and come out as annoying. Bolt was just charismatic. Another thing about Bolt, he never, ever disrespect his opponents/competition. Lyles is constantly disrespecting his opponents by talking too much or attacking them. I stopped being Lyles supporter when he went after his 18 year old American opponent couple of years ago. Bolt was entertaining, he was charismatic and still managed not to disrespect his opponents. You are born with charisma and you cannot force yourself to be charismatic or cool. Lyles is trying too hard and I don't know what is the tongue sticking-out thing he keeps doing like a little child.

[@vintagecouture2275]

​@AJ-bh7vm I so agree with you about Lyles. In my opinion, his whole persona seems unnatural and forced, as if he's trying to be someone he genuinely isn't. It's cringe and annoying.

[@tyeguy5373]

@Jacksontown2224 I remember the other day frano was scolding the Jamaican athletes for not promoting themselves enough to the world.. In the future you will see a different Kishane Thompson promoting himself but not in a obnoxious and distasteful way or anything like that.. Stephen Francis is going to push him to market himself more to the world because this is the age we are living in.. So don’t be surprised when you see the change in him..

I like what I saw and heard from this young man during the interview. He is focused on his goals, but not overwhelmed by them. He hinted at his early life and stated that he remained focused while growing up which he clearly carried through to the present time. I heard someone on a podcast asked if there is a danger that he will become overwhelmed by the ocasion at the olympics, somehow I doubt that very much. This young man is grounded. He just has to continue listening to and trusting his coaches, as he is already doing and maintain a cool head on his shoulders. Kishane, beware of all the friends that suddenly appear that you never knew you had - male and female. I am praying for your success.
