Give the man his roses , he’s the best track coach in the world and best and most decorated coach in the history of Jamaica 🇯🇲! Let’s be honest and truthful!!
And yu want to have his babies too, huh???
🤔🤔🤔🤷♂️🤔🤔🤔
Glenn Mills is *unequivocally* the *GOAT COACH!* His athletes have won an *enviable* 33 Olympic and 71 World Championship medals(and multiple World Records)!!
You could swing from Franno's nuts (like Tarzan), until you're blue in the face, and swill copious amounts of the mvp koolaid until it's oozing through you ears!!
Yu caan change or take away what Coach Glen has done and continue to do!!!!
*On Idolatry and Hype A Synopsis*
~Woodism
@@woodism203 if there’s 1 thing I realize about Jamaicans the majority of you have the brain of a Rockin horse! The truth is a offence but it’s not a lie! Glen mills received more natural talents than any coach in Jamaica, how many female Olympic champion have glen mills developed? Bolt is a freak of nature and bolt is Jamaica first Olympic and world champion gold medalist for Jamaica Shelly Ann is Jamaica first Olympic gold medalist since 2008 Francis and mvp is responsible for all the Olympic 100m gold medals that’s a fact ! Why is it hard to give someone credit for developing athletes who didn’t even make a finals at champs to become world record holders and Olympic and world champion? Let me take a guess who u gonna say found and developed those athletes? God ? Lol 😂
@@pageone8165 Obviously, I struck a nerve and your main artery, huh???
*Good!* Hopefully, now you'll be more mindful not to minimize one, and over hype the other, they're both Jamaicans!
The same Jamaicans you're now feverishly trying to disassociate and disparage with yu ad hominem, logical fallacy garbage/BS!!
My youth, yu doan understand yu self! And it's apparent that the licklle *Occidental* degree you have (from some third rate institution), sadly, has left you with a false sense of bigotry and self hate?!
Answer me this, yu think that you're better than the average Jamaican just because, huh???
🤔🤔🤔🤷♂️🤔🤔🤔
So much contradiction in this 1 statement. If bolt was a freak of nature, why then didn’t the coach prior to miles get him to run the times he did when with mills. In any event this really ought not to be a Francis v mills argument for the truth is they are both damn good coaches in their own right. Saying one is good doesn’t therefore mean that the other is no good. Both deserve the props
He is a great track coach in Jamaica. Bob Kersey has trained his wife Jackie Joyner Kersee, Florence Griffith Joyner, A to Bolden and Sydney Mclaughlin. There are a few great track athletic coaches out there. Darn Jamaica the country just recently became relevant in track and field in the last 20 years and you just brag and brag!! American sprinters have been relevant for decades. 1936, 1960 etc... And stood for many including Jamacians in World Wars and during civil rights movements. I am proud and happy but pace yourself. When Cubans started winning in boxing they didn't start talking sh*t about American boxers. Welcome to the conversation. Now what other sports will you guys start to get involved in??
This man is old time disciplinarian Jamaican with humility. He loves to prove others wrong. These are some of the ingredients of this man success. You are very good 👍.
Let me translate Mr. Francis' answer at 21.42 . He is giving some knowledge on the business of track and field that many may miss. The times people run and races they win outside of global championships is irrelevant. Strong words but it's something i stress to my kids. What Mr. Francis is saying applies to the high school level as well. When an athlete, take a male athlete for example who runs 10.1 sec at age 17 while in High school, what's the benefit of that time to the athlete? In order to run that time, it requires a lot of training and pressure on the legs to get the body to run 10.1 at 17. Many of these said athletes cannot matriculate and run 9.8 at 22 or 23 where running such times as a pro at a major championship will be beneficial - EARNING!!!.
He said something else that people may not understand, when you win or medal, it is imperative that the athlete maintains form and is able to reproduce in subsequent years. Why? It's the nature of how one gets paid well in track and field. As the champion or major contender who has medal to show, you command appearance fees and endorsements that are higher than the base but you have to have to maintain, otherwise those endorsement and appearance fees dry up. Unlike other sports such as basketball where a top draft pick is signed to a multimillion dollar contract before he makes a basket at the pro level, You have to win in track and field to get paid and you have to win at major championship before you earn real money.
The points he made about the things that can improve the sport are also spot on. Mr. Francis is not only a great coach, but also a great business mind in track and field. A genius.
That's why track is usually an afterthought in the US. Kids primarily focus on football basketball and baseball because those are by far the most lucrative and prestigious.
U highlight some great points by the Coach thanks
21.42 sounds like a time Shericka can run at the WC.
A hope they send tina clayton to him
Interesting comments. I agree with most except that athletes have to win major Championships to earn real money. Doesn't Asafa Powell's career disprove that? He's never medal in any individual event at Olympics. Finished..5th, 5th, 8th.
Best World Championship result was a Bronze. And those are the top 2 major track events. All wins & most of his sub 10s came at lesser events
WHAT a coach this man is..Both him and Mr Mills are phenomenal 👏 👌 simply the best there ever is. Jamaica must cherish them because they are Special. Young brianna lyston should have started out with him . It looked to be the hard way but I think he would have turn her into something the world 🌎 have never seen. Them twins best not pass up his opportunity.
My thoughts too
They should cherish him but listen to the conditions he has to run his program in...its sad
Blessings to you both... beyond a doubt Sir Francis is the world best coach.
Glad to hear Franno be Frank bout jamaicans. Everybody is an expert in everything and them no know nutten. And call you rude and disrespectful when you put them right or in there correct place!!
I have not always liked Stephen Francis' manner, but I have always respected his coaching acumen and his intellect.
This interview has made me more appreciative of his manner.
He told me he didn't care about yours either.
@@natty.roots.423 right
Stephen Francis is the greatest track coach hands down. Great interview I enjoyed it 👍
He's totally not hang up on who goes. I actually think he wants them to go to train the next star. Proving himself over and over. Amazing.
The Greatest Coach of all times ( Glen Mills and Steven Francis) these two stresses discipline and I’m for it a hundred percent, Great interview
Francis way ahead of Mills.
@@siablo14 did you know before Bolt, Glen Mills have Raymond Stewart, and Leroy Reid, Garfield Campbell, etc
@@anthonychristie8378 Compare his list to Francis' and you will see that it's not that close.
@@siablo14 Francis started out under mills and they went their separate ways. Know history before you speak rubbish
@@snipsnip2594 glen mills is no where near to Steven Francis track record, pun intended. Bolt n Blake were star from school days of Francis had them those records would be lower. Francis spread across many disciplines for both male and female
Another comprehensive interview Miss McGowan. You continue to bring informative interviews to your platform. l look forward to your next interview👍🏽😊
I wanted this interview a long time ago
Well overdued
Honestly this interview should have been an hour long
Great interview, I think this Mr Francis should write a book and gives us some insights of his long journey in becoming one of the greatest ever.
Excuse mi? He is the greatest… not one of.
If you listen to frano deep enough you will start seeing the world differently.
Who AGREES
👍
Steven you are the best of them all..keep going my brother..you have nothing to prove to anyone..you have done it time and time again...big up bro
I really love how you handled this interview. I learned a lot about Franno and track and field
Mr. Francis, publishing houses must be lining up for your book 📕- The MVP at MVP - Winning at the highest levels 🥇 - Great interview Ms. McGowan
For Franno to provide you with this inetrerview he must respect you very much as a journalist. Wonderful interview
So many good points made by Mr. Francis. I think coach Walcott and Frater will eventually find the formula as they seem to be on the right path thus far.
I miss Frater, he was one of the sweetest runners on the relays.
GC Foster wasn't worth mentioning at all bredda
Great Interview. Love the questions and the answers. Excellent work. How about Coach Glen Mill next? Thank you.
This interview is so insightful. Wow.
Packed with a lot of nuggets for the sports and even life. Hats off to this man. I pray is strength and long life.
Greatest of the greats - fortunate to have worked with him as a teenager and have seen the gentler/kinder side of this man.
JAMAICA HAS BEEN BLESSED WITH SOME GREAT AND WONDERFUL TEACHERS TO POINT AND SHOW THE WAY !!! TOO OFTEN TIMES WE CURSE AND CHASTISE THEM AND CALL THEM WICKED AND ALL MANNERS OF BAD !!!WHEN IN ALL THEIR WISDOM THEY ARE JUST DOING THE RIGHT THING AND SHOWING THE YOUNGSTERS THE RIGHT WAY !
The teachers are dumb , sorry cant have shallow minds teaching shallow minds
Just when I started to really enjoy di interview, it jus done
...too much love❤️ to this man from South Africa 👌🙌🙏👍
Very good interview, nothing he said here could be considered controversial. I remember when he said Bolt could not break 19.19 or 9.58 again because he was older and too many distractions. People took him to task but he was right
That's why Bolt was special
He said Bolt could or could not?
I think Bolt could have broken both those records in 2012 at the Olympics but in particular the 200 where he slowed down and still ran 19.32
Well done Trishana! Please do make it a series.👍🏽
I like the truth even if it hurt , so big up coach i think when your coach, friends, families dont tell you truth they are evil , the truth must be told at all cost.
Excellent interview. You ask just the right questions and Frano the genuine genus delivered excellent.
Great interview this is real as it can get.
A refreshing interview. This man sounds very humble.
Great interview, thank you!
Excellent interviewing 👏👏continue the good work
Very good interview. Why can't we get it together in Sport Admin so that the collective wisdom is released to support the development of the sport. We need servant leadership in Sport Admin I guess!
Keep up the good work Sir Francis, discipline and humility is the order of the day. God bless you and your team richly.
Athletes, coaches, and JAAA need to watch this video over and over and take a look into themselves for the future of Jamaica track & field. Legendary work Trishana McGowan and thank you Mr. Francis for all you have done for our athletes and this country.
Lovely interview, I enjoy
Good interview and give him credit for all.his work and passion for moving Jamaica forward.

Great Interview Trish!
Thank you Frano!
Love this interview indeed one of the best coach in the world. Would love to meet him one day😀
Brilliant Interview Trishana.
Excellent interview. Very insightful.
Great interview as usual...
You will never see no other coach like sir francis and mr mills in life when their job is done
brilliant Trishana
Good interview 👍
Another winner Trish, Francis the master.
Excellent interview. I’m so impressed by this man and how his vision has done us proud as a nation. What Stephen Francis has done for us is to put a stop to the darn US commentators who would never give our athletes props as having had a solid athletic foundation but would only refer to him or her as being from an American university! That used to make me so furious as early as the 80’s when watching the Olympics it would be incidental that the superb Jamaican athlete is Jamaican,but rather a product of the American University system. Thanks for taking that away from them Franco and Mr. Mills when both the fastest man and woman were “home grown “ and that couldn’t be their “go to”! Too bad that some of our athletes are still so foreign minded and don’t see value in having the greatest coaches in the world. But mek dem gwaan! Didn’t he say that he’s taken persons that others didn’t see as great and they’ve excelled? Hmmmm!
I’m also extremely impressed by his attitude in graciously letting go of the superstars and always ready to mine new talent and give these emerging talented ones a chance.
Yes we know the Americans are bias but that reference to the Uni; the athletes attended is mentioned across the board,Americans are proud of their college system and I'm a staunch followerer of that circuit for over 40yrs especially when our athletes are in with chances of being victorious, all of our top athletes wont stay in jamaica some will go, did you saw the Ncaa finals?.
That's what great coaches do, always seeking new talents to challenge those they already developed, unlike opportunist trying to catapult to high levels on the backs of already made greatness
Very good interview
Boy Trish I really have to watch this interview over and over... So interested😎
I LOVE THIS JAMAICAN TEACHER AND EVERY THING THAT HE STANDS FOR !!!! **** As for the student atheletes who have passed through STEPHEN FRANCIS HANDS AND TALKING PUBLICLY ABOUT how the man is a dictator and wicked, one of them IS MELANIE WALKER !!! OONUH TOO INDISCIPLINED AND UNGRATEFUL, which is the cause of oonuh downfall !!!!
Great interview from the host 👏 ...
Great Interview
Hats off to Mr Francis , he is a WORLD class COACH . He does"nt have to say a word because it is there for us all to see , unless u r blind . Thank u so much sir for the joy & pride that u have contributed to this country by your superb. & unmatch coaching skills . A genius at what u do much love to u Mr Stephen Francis . ❤
Absolutely enjoyed this interview.
wise words from King Franno!!
EXCELLENT INTERVIEW!!!! MAJOR PROPS TO THE HOST. The key to an excellent interview is asking the RIGHT QUESTIONS and Mam, you got down to the brass tacks off the issues. No sensationalism, as this interview could simply have been directed towards. Kudos to Mr. Francis for his frankness and wisdom.
The world's best coach ✊🏾👏🏿🙏🏽👏🏿✊🏾
Well said Franno always having a relevant outlook .Great interview Celena.I saw that look on your face Celena to his statements at the end of the interview.
Love your program, very informative
I must say Stephen Francis is really our great Coach
Stephen Jamaica loves you. I'm Jamaica's Poet Bill M Burton 🖤💛💚
Trishana, this is a value added interview. You will only strengthen your brand with interviews like these. Continue doing what you are doing.
Franno is the boss irrespective of what anyone thinks or want to say. Give credit where it’s due. There’s no comparison either. Not to say others aren’t good but Franno is set apart. No need for debate, give the man props, he was cut out for this. Franno big up yuh self 🔥🔥🔥
Powerful point...true is not Truth.....they are different things. So the quest for improvement burns on
Great interview Trishana. Franno at his frank and fearless best.
Stephen, you are the best. I have a new talent for you!
Good job Trish
Excellent scoop Trishana. He's spot on about Coe's stewardship of WA.
As a track and field fan, how can one help with supporting the program. Bless up
FRANO the MAN with the WINNING FORMULA 🏆
Jason Robinson you are 200% correct..
I love it
Mr. Francis was very careful with his words.
Next time drop it like it is sah
Great interview! Within the future, it would great to see a rather public panel discussion, which may include other coaches (I.e. Mr Glen Mills, Mr Stephen Francis etc) and so on….
I RESPECT this great jamaican coach. He is layed back an makes ordinary people extremely great..facts!!
The Best sprint coach ever!
One of my greatest regret is to not ask to join this man's program ... 🐐
Ms. McGowan, hats off to you for a great interview. Great access to the man with great success. But Just a comment though on the title of your video… not sure if he “blasted” any organization as you suggest in your title to the video. I know it is common to put out “headline grabbing” titles to attract viewers but the mere fact it is an rare interview with Stephen Francis should have been enough. He suggested improvements for both the nation and world T&F bodies, I didn’t see that he “blasted” any of them. If any thing he directed most criticism to the people “who think they know but don’t know a thing.”
I understand why shelly and elaine left now...but I am shocked to hear the condition this man trains in...what is going on witht that? This man should be a track and field king and treated like that, he should have a top class facility right now and not training new talent in the conditions he speaks about. That is just sad and seems like he is being taken for granted. If I was in the position I would be doing everything to make sure this man has the best of the best, because he could easily coach for millions in the US if he wanted to.
Many people don't know that he has an MBA from the University of Michigan and could have been doing something else if he chose to.
The greatest of them all
This man is just being honest he is not walking in the clouds like many .
Well done Stephen....we laud your good work....keep the drive going.
MVP forever
Watching from st Lucia 🇱🇨
You asking that man about retirement like his job is run or do heavy lifting that man still have years to do this God willing
One hundred % perfect interview Trish ...I've learned a lot but one Question I wish u'd ask if he is go to buy himself a private plane to take him around?
People are always so quick to throw out the word ‘greatest.’ He is definitely one of the best track coaches in the world but Im not sure we have evaluated all the data since the beginning of olympics and world chamionships to say greatest. But he is certainly phenomenal and one of the best! Also bear in mind no matter how ‘great’ a coach may be they do need an excellent support team as well. Its never a one person job to garner that level of success.
Very good interview Trish. I have a better appreciation for this often misunderstood man. As you grow get more camera angles during interviews. #videotip
Definitely one of the best in the world
Big coach! literally
What a coach will they be a training video I like to start training my 10 year old son.
Spot on repeatability … I like that young Seville has ran sub 9 .9 twice this season

The other way around, Shelly-Ann and Elaine moving on from Stephen Francis,but he is legendary 🇯🇲
Malaney Walker was a past mvp
