          asically i have decided to stop playing australian rules football due to financial reasons, eg, cost of petrol, club functions etc

          So i decided to start training seriously for my 100m coaching will i will start to recieve in October.

          Now, i have many requests and questions. but first thing first, i believe some background and stats are needed…

          Age- 18
          Sex- Male
          Years training with/in-
          100m : nothing serious
          Weights : nearly two years
          Sports : 3 years

          I wasn't born an athlete, but i want to make myself into one. in the next post will show while i wasn't a big athlete at a young age…

          Weight : 50kg (110lbs)
          Height : 167cm (5'5")

          1RM Benchpress : 42.25kg (93.5kg)
          1RM Barbell Row : 45kg (99lbs)
          1RM Squat : 77.5kg (170.5lbs)

          Standing Long Jump : 2.27m (7'5")
          Vertical Leap : 55cm (1'8")

          100m PB : 13.27secs
          Long Jump PB : 5.06m (16'8")

          Now i know for a fact that my lifts are small, my jumps are short and my time is slow. so i don't need anyone telling me that.

          what i want is some help on improving myself. I am willing to do my best. follow a diet, lifting, running, jumping, wateva it takes. however, i don't want help on supplements as i barely take any, and if it is, it is just a little bit of protein powder.

          so what is a good 100m starting program to help cut down my time? any help would be appreicated (sp).

          i want to lower my time a little before i start coaching in 5 months. so just by other people's experience, how much do you think i could take off my time doing a soild program and diet in 5 months? what could i get down to?

          also as a supplemental event, what are some tips on long jump training.

          thankyou all who reply in advance.

          have had a pretty rough time in my early years with medical problems and such. i don't know why i'm posting this but maybe people will understand a bit bout me….

          instead of being born in a hospital bed, i was born on the side of a road in the ambulance. where, i had close heart ateries, a hole in the lung n in the heart.

          i was flown over to the Royal Children Hosptial in Melbourne Australia. the doctors proceeded and performed open-heart surgery on me at only two days old (thus,the scar down the middle). they fixed a couple arteries n the hole in the lung.

          i don't know how to spell the condition but i have a twisted spine (as you can see), and i have a bone growing of my spine.

          the worst thing my parents went through was when the doctors told them i would not see my first birthday.

          the doctors were wrong (but not far off)

          in 2001 i had a operation on my lung, because one lung is smaller than the other. they failed, so know i have to have the same operation next year.

          other than that, i still have a hole in my heart, a couple close arteries, a tiwsted spine n a bone growing of it, and my left lung is smaller than my right. other than that, i'm pretty healthy and normal (i think lol)

          bascially all that stuff made my mother (R.I.P) be over protective of me at a young age and didn't want me to do sports or anything. so i have started really late compared to others, but i still wanna go good
