See Figure 0. One method is to place the thumb on the middle finger (left photo). Another method is to keep the fingers straight but loose while trying to cut through the air like a knife (middle photo). The third option is to have floppy wrists (right photo) and execute a whipping action of the wrists. Study again the photos of our sprinters. Do their wrists, hands or fingers look tight?<br> <br><br>7. Your feet should make the initial plant directly under your hips, not out in front of your body. <br><br>A huge mistake that athletes often make when trying to run faster is to reach out with their lead leg in a futile attempt to increase their stride length. When you reach with the leg in front of your body, your heel will touch the ground first. This effectively puts on the brakes and you will actually run slower. You increase your stride length with the back leg drive. You want to run tall. However, to plant the foot directly under the hips is an advanced concept. Therefore, I want to devote a whole article to that technique at a later date. I will have a 4.2 forty-athlete show you some great drills to more fully understand this concept.<br><br>8. Your forward leg should initially lift forward, not up. <br><br>The lower leg should hang before planting with your foot and toes up. Your back knee should fuly extend on the follow-through, or end-of-the-leg drive. Look at Stefan and Tim once again. The photo was taken at the perfect time to see the all-out extension of their back legs. Again, coaches, if you do some video analysis from the side, you will see that most of your athletes will never straighten the back leg. Every stride will be performed with a bent back leg. There is no way you can ecome really fast with bent legs. Therefore,if you want to run really fast, you will have to master how to run with a back leg that looks like Stefan s.<br>Look at Figure 13. This is our famous hip flexor stretch. If you do this one right, it will help you to increase your stride length and therefore your speed. Remember, when you stretch you want to look like a sprinter. The right-hand photo shows John in a correct position. You must force you hips forward and down. You are supposed to feel the stretch in your hip flexor (groin area). If you don t, your position is incorrect.<br>Look at Figure 12. The left photo shows the toe down, while the right photoshows the toe up. You want your toe up. It will make a huge dfference. Study Figures 14-5-16. This is one good way to help athletes learn the vital sprint principle of Toe Up. Detail, detail, detail.<br>A wonderful new sprint aid has just been designed to help you keep your toes up. It is called the Sprint Step. See Figure 17. It just takes a minute or tw to place on our shoes. The Sprint Step will give you a kinesthetic feel of how to keep your toes up as you sprint. Just wear it when you are working sprints, starts, sprint dril*ߐYdR=;\fRAI/|(˻TP5!->V9 ʴFSxڏ>Ұa)J:2vl1#IkEE+~DbwEA@5$?dmwE ҂hd#a^_QyДMv6ߧӉSA'~eŽ|vfwf㉒+Bhɮx 0ȴu`U$Ob2{0PAZ8@A*Gk:=U6 n#T u~4F5aQ3"h*w4#AQҵp1IڣأT꽇ŒTCZoEјPzFDk5籑 7S;MgkoR>-ԥ4sˌ1}|X\+QTx׮tgɖoLCQCF2f?+d %lLC֗^$3Ҽ;D,*|6/-hi #JK@I#: H PS,k$tX9ƘaJ|Dd@$tž%ă(s(-֔9JTnwm=ޞ/'['0*qSX<%mܥ~yde d` pr.&3&it4P>ؚxe1-9Ͼ;%M2Ŋ֬qƀH;ҏN7lzh7zTEO '|7fU'|PGDm,Q(>XxENxptֆ 1)ZCВ; _ژ'B)!0S]jPbĨ۾3rh)i-w4>MXf{:^DR1e͙ /%S֝dbG3a K]x@Ny6XߪEcN b́/Lur s˙z=]P'O$lZ0n߫hzva̓u MS@@#< C9EMhOj畳dYkcGڙǁ]vè&ffCÁ]Ḱ/XqZֹث%F+@œH͊Oy#6> >)tc9 Ozq&y&Uq?QZ>$4leEԳ-ʥ:>;G7š]u~]CÂҴ4ms[\i ,.H FJ߉Y+C*iF=}k4 XD(!VO 5UZ8 ;6-qh]ԛ_{JĪ {{?N^ #Hёmy/(6MM%]{I;4:΂X2Zȅbs`o,iw"0ܫ㦿]cMB+l/nƒcV5kڥmAyiMoS`IojL\if]`ȷȎq;@q\_k&Pok9޳eN4``O$7=iVXѮ$:+zp~dTɎG3v(ih1 CRYȑ2nbgQɅw7Grvvu4^r)F|>#b־Ц-QGl#fݻg1ϖ;VBm
