Some coaches forget that, and this can lead to overtraining.<br><br>BFS: Do you believe that many sprint coaches perform too many sprint drills?<br>DS: Drills are important only if they are performed with quality concentrated effort and actually accomplish the objective, which should be to develop strength and improve mechanical movement. It s alo important to distinguish between sprint drills and mobility exercises. A mobility exercise may look like a sprint drill, but it s really just working the full range of movement in the hip joint.<br><br>BFS: Regarding injuries, I understand Dr. Michael Ripley works with your athletes. How has he helped your program?<br>DS: I ve known Dr. Ripley for more than five years, and he is undoubtedly the best sports doctor I have had the pleasure to work with. We ve incorporated a great many of his ideas into our program; his breathing techniques for stretching are especially valuable. I would estimate some athletes I have worked with have boosted their performances by two- to three percent from following his guidelines. In my area of coaching the sprints and hurdles, that can be the difference between being first or coming in last in your event final. Dr. Ripley uses his modified active release techniques to enhance muscle functioning and also to expedite rehabilitation of injury.<br><br>BFS: What problems do you encounter with your freshman sprinters?<br>DS: A sprinter needs to have equality between their front-side and backside mechanics. What I find is that due to a lack of basic strength, our younger sprinters often have developed significantly greater backside mechanics, reducing front-side mechanics. As a result, braking action increases, severely restricting force application as they sprint down the track at maximum velocity.<br><br>BFS: Some coaches believe that by the time an athlete reaches college, many technique flaws are so ingrained that they are virtually impossible to correct. Do you agree?<br>DS: Not at all. When we get a new person in, it s exciting to see that there are things we can do to help them improve. Of course there s no denying that it takes tremendous patience to correct technique flaws. Muna Lee is a perfect example. When she initially enrolled she couldn t lift a 45-pound bar. I told her,  You watch---this is going to be fun; oce you get a little bit stronger it ll make a difference on the track. Specifically, she would be able to apply the forces on the track in a mechanically different way that would make her faster. And it was true; her new training enabled her to run significantly faster thn she did in her senior year of high school.<br><br>BFS: How do you use testing in your program?<br>DS: It s vital to test athletes to pin down what is keeping them from achieving their potential. Whatever is inhibiting them beyond their conscious control needs to dD X%vU_OMȍH.Z+Տ(d;%wb돗|Y}Vh!_N$/N[Gw&`Mzl$@%lXBnݲYfL;E XrEHڽ0U ܂Tzbge~.iMMY")P :z:y.=ɭ<9pqr;zɪ;[NBu(nATq ǣ P)Vy()^"u<\wOɥȓۃ7S;&8VqӗnMM՗;WR@J\w|r{idgޱ3|h Uy0ڥ`;[{k>G,čm+ȥ Ȟes=;"6' yI崓ҚӨ_4{_Ϯ:6VWtQT>WKs.+y'B_>??0 edRRQޣ+Hlc!H ˈݸe6ZvlٱWf͛vlٱWf]o!Fv l+=#e^K6/dĐl>)t]fJԲIoW?aB+kAhjKLNjH@,񥞢YYu8cS0AϩWǜ ξ@ּgd;\ȷѳ'҇F&N'9=h-W#^ 1o# Gtph"\"uN2 ˻04oFUӐvγQUW9 cd'chYf)dm+r1O(qwU\{#FWOJ^ .?BȟZ?ۑ+@?l1!t{q ]5X`Uğȑًg3,i͘D>O&KS,,pnzrː6Iji})ԕԅe5j^ə/n8cd!I@<ǛnM@z3MrS b
