First Olympic
2004 was the Olympic year and Usain was not full recovered from his injury and he was just 17 years old. After winning CARIFTA, his current coach stated that the training programme worked, but Usain was not pleased with him as the training made him injured all the time.
While preparing for World Championship in paris, he injured his hamstring badly and sicked with the training schedule. He kept complaining to this parents and he was furious. JAAA dropped him out from the competition states that he was not fit for the meet.
He missed another championship in Italy and and really pissed when an Italian 200m sprinter won and thrased talk about Usain. Usain was outrage because he can beat that guy just by cruising.
Olympic was the competition of true world champion but Usain was not prepared at all and missed alot of the competition during the summer. He was not psyched and competing the Olympic will be a pain in the ass. His coach got worried and got his the best doctor who based in Germany. He was an unorthodox doctor and Usain was diagnosed with scoliosis. Usain strongly believed his cause of injury was from the intense training schedule. He was not worry about it and he said he will just looked for a nother training programme.
Everytime he prepared for a bigh race definitely a minor injury would striked in. During 1st heat of 200mm in Athens Olympic 2004, he twisted his ankle during the turn. for the 2nd heat, he was struggling to aim for 4th with and slightly injured ankle, in order to quality for semi final but he was so weak. He felt the struggle of the sprinter next to him, Usain slowed down and gave him the fourth place. After the heat, he relieved immediately.
The went back to Jaimaica and all sorts of negative critism from the media to the public said about him. After the season of Athen Olynpic 2004, Usain just turned 18. It was the time he decided to take a new coach, The legendary coach Glen Mills. The game changed straight away. Coach Glen said to him that he needed 2 years to prepare himself to become a true world champion. Coach mills focus on core workout and improving usain's stride, a different approach from Usain's precious coach.
