Acceleration Drills

3/9/2017

When we are doing a drill we need to ask ourselves:
  1. Do I know how to do the drill?
  2. Why are we doing the drill?
Make sure you know how to do the drill(s) and watch the links below.  We are going to use these drills   a lot over the coming months.

WHY wall drill for acceleration:
  1. To feel correct body position during acceleration.   To feel the lean.  Are my hips, knee, ankle, foot in correct positions?  
  2. To feel pushing behind my centre of gravity.
  3. To understand the leg action during acceleration
WHY Hurdle Push Drill and Hurdle Cart Push Drill:
  1. To emphasis the feeling of pushing behind
  2. To feel the lean and my knees driving up to chest
WHY Knee Roll Over Drill:
  1. It sets up correct shin angle
  2. It allows us to push behind
Wall Drills for Expolsive Acceleration

Knee roll over drill
And finally watch Trayvon Bromell starts in slow mo - one of the quickest starters in the world.  Watch body angles, where foot contacts track and note the first 5 steps.  ENJOY!!!
