If you have 10 minutes to spare, then this video of Maurice Green from the IAAF is a good one.
The IAAF Academy had plenty of videos of past and present athletes, so be sure to check them out.
In this video, you will learn:
- Who was Mo’s role model? The answer will surprise you, and it’s NOT Carl Lewis.
- What does he regret most after leaving the sport? (current athletes, take note)
- What is it REALLY like to race on a grass track?
- His favorite spikes and the technology behind it (a free plug for adidas!)

interesting interview with Mo from a different angle. Very surprised by his role model though…, and i like it. It just shows that spike (whether light or heavy built), it’s the Athlete that makes the spike shoe look good.
