Tentative dates and sites are next February and March in the cities of Cleveland, Minneapolis and Denver. This would be the only total speed development clinic or camp where each athlete would participate fully in all aspects of speed development. It would be like our highly successful BFS Participation Clinics where all the equipment is furnished in order to have all coaches and athletes learn by doing. It is certainly an idea that is over due. Stay tuned for details.rs. However, once an athlete sees what he/she is doing wrong, you will have a decent chance of correcting this vital technique flaw. One excellent drill to practice a correct angle with a vigorous shoulder rotation is to do the Vigorous Sprint Drill. see Figure 11. It takes only 30 seconds. Sit and start with the elbows at a ninety-degree angle. If you start to be a pumper, you will hit your hands on the floor. Therefore, any athlete can overcome this flaw rather quickly. Now rotate your shoulders and arms as rapidly as possible. If you go really fast, your hips and buttocks will literally come up off the floor. This is a great drill.<br><br>6. Your wrists, fingers and hands should be loose. <br><br>Do not make a fist, as this will make you tight. See Figure 9. Tightness makes you slower. You need to always stay loose and relaxed while putting forth a maximum effort  not an easy thing to do, naturally. There are at least three acceptable methods of keeping your hands, fingers and wrists loose. See Figure 10. 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 fully 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,
