Sam Mussabini:
Do you want to know why you lost today?

[Harold nods]

Sam Mussabini:
You're over striding. Just a couple of inches.

[Sets coins in a row]

Sam Mussabini:
Now these coins represent the steps in your sprint.

[Pushes coin together]

Sam Mussabini:
Have you got another two coins, Mr. Abrahams? Well, maybe we can find 'em.

[Harold looks up]

Sam Mussabini:
Remember, over striding – death for the sprinter.

[shakes his head]

Sam Mussabini:
Slap in the face, each step you take. Knocks you back.

[Slaps Harold across the cheek. Harold winces]

Sam Mussabini:
Like that!

[Slaps Harold again]

Sam Mussabini:
And that!

[Sam laughs and grabs Harold by the arm]
