If the athlete tends to have more difficulty in one area, increase the number of sprints for that area while decreasing the number of sprints for the other areas. <br><br>3. The distance for each sprint should be 10-50 yards with recovery time being 15-20 seconds (usually the time it takes to walk back).<br><br>4. The speed for each sprint should be to 3/4 speed . . . never full speed for learning purposes.<br><br>5. The Sprint System should never be considered a part of the athletic conditioning, only a part of the learning process.<br><br>6. The Sprint System should be done 2-4 times weekly in-season and off-season, in groups or individually. Feedback from a coach, parent or teammate is important. <br><br>Concentrate on one area of the body for each sprint (head, torso, legs). On the last sprint of each set, combine the eight points to achieve a full speed sprint. Time and record the last sprint of each set in your logbook. Try to break the record each week. Practice this system two or three times a week when the body is FRESH. Following these guidelines and EVERY athlete can improve speed dramatically!<br><br><br>__________<br><br><br>THE BFS 8 POINT SPRINT SYSTEM<br><br>The BFS 8-Point Sprint Technique System singles out 8 specific points that must be looked at when assessing an athletes technique. These points are as follows:<br><br>HEAD<br>1. Head - The head should be level and <br> unwavering<br><br>2. Eyes - The eyes should be on a target <br> straight ahead.<br><br>TORSO<br>3. Back - The back should be upright and <br> slightly arched.<br><br>4. Arms - The shoulders should rotate vigorously <br> with elbows fixed in a 90 degree angle. <br> Emphasize thrusting the elbows back. <br><br>5. Wrists - The wrists should simulate a whip <br> action as the shoulder rotates back.<br><br>LEGS<br>6. Legs - Initial leg action is to lift forward then up. <br><br>7. Feet - The feet should make the initial plant <br> directly under the hips not out in front of the <br> body. The toes should be kept up don t let the <br> foot drop.<br><br>8. Knees - On the follow-through or end of the <br> leg drive, the knee should fully extend. habits and rest. <br> It was important for Tricia to compete internationally, said Snowden.  She earned World Cup points. Tricia has been to all but one track now on the international circuit. She will hit that remaining one this year. <br> This elps in the development of new skills, said Tricia. I race better at Park City because I know the track. Also, the more World Cup points you earn, the more spots you get on the team. Also, Tricia needs to compete to help with her chance to make the U.S. team. And compete she does - Tricia is becoming an international sensation. She won the U.S. National Championship again in 2001 while setting the Park City Olympic track record at 50.74 seconds. Tricia finished second at the World Cup event in LaPlange, France last December and third in Ingls, Austria. At the 2001 World Championships in Calgary, she repeated her third place finish from the previous year. All these competitions vaulted Tricia to 4th in World Cup overall points for the 2001 season. <br>Tricia is leaving no stone unturned in her bid to make the Olympic team. And should she make it, she ll represent our nation with honor. She has gone to the Olympic Training Center in Colorado Springs and spent time with the team s sport psychologist, Kirsten Peterson.  She has good insight into my performance personality,
