Win the start. Own the race.

The scoreboard
By the numbers.
Twelve years on the track. Ten years on the stage. Same obsession with the details that win.

The story
Slowest out of the blocks. Fastest to the line.
Ryan was told he started too slowly to ever race at the top. So he rebuilt his start one tiny habit at a time, and ten years later he anchored his team to Olympic gold.
Now he helps leaders do the same: master the start, stay calm under pressure and build teams that hand over the baton without dropping it. Funny, honest and full of race-day stories, his talks get people moving.
The splits
A career in 100 metres.
Every race has four phases. So did the road to gold, and so does every big goal your team will chase.
0–10mREACTION · 0.14s
The start
Age 14, last place in his first race. He decided the start was a skill, not a talent.
10–30mDRIVE · 3.81s
The drive
Six years of 5 a.m. sessions. Small habits, repeated until they became automatic.
30–60mTOP SPEED · 6.42s
The injury
A torn hamstring the year before the Games. The comeback taught him more than any win.
60–100mFINISH · 9.94s
The gold
Anchor leg, final night. A perfect handover, and the race of his life.
