One of the best things you can give a young athlete early-on in their career is autonomic balance (i.e. the ability to shift between sympathetic nervous system and parasympathetic nervous system dominance). - See more at: http://robertsontrainingsystems.com/blog/57-random-thoughts-athletic-training-coaching/#sthash.kQ14UQYH.dpuf

I have no idea. What he probably means is the guy that can turn on all the muscles (generate tension) and turn off all the muscles (generate relaxation) the fastest is going to be the most successful.

So I guess he means alternating great tension with great relaxation in one's training. Sprint maximally, then relax and shake your legs and focus on relaxing.

Obviously, this is my subjective interpretation of that statement.
