This is also something I’ve been trying to improve recently. as I watched my starts from last season I saw my self literally crashing my foot into the ground in front of my COM and I’ve made huge emphasis on “attacking” and “stabbing” at the ground with my foot as well as doing this underneath/behind my centre of mass and I saw my 60m plummet from 7.71 to 7.21

[@jadonplays1011]

This stuff really works hoping to go down to around 7.13 in my upcoming meet maybe even seven 0s

[@ATHLETE.X]

Great progress and props to you on seeing something you need to fix and then putting in the work to make it better.

hey i just found your channel and it is amazing im only only 15 and i LOVE sprinting even tho i don't really know the "tech" of it😂 im slim and agile by nature (it's literally in my genes lmao) so im great at accelerating for short periods of time i like doing parkour and stuff so actually learning how to sprint properly is key and your videos can help me in that! thank u so much for sharing ur knowledge and sorry for my HORRIBLE english i legit learned by myself so it kinda sucks lol have a great day

[@spiralphysiotherapy4196]

Sleds, slows the steps down and allows you to think about being active (not passive) with the angular velocity

Hello i dont have anything to add on to this video. I just want to say thank you for your help full and informative video's ❤. God bless.

[@alissonbrazilianrunner]

Thank you for the great tips.

[@ATHLETE.X]

Thank you bro

[@jadonplays1011]

Does this technical que apply for top speed/up right running . In other words should I just run relaxed at top speed or should I think about stepping into the track with force orrr is it a mix of both?

[@paulgill3672]

That's a very good question. Would this technique be applicable to the 200/400?

[@spartangaming5078]

Would we attack the ground back like this from a dynamic start that leads to a flying sprint?

[@JamesOdom-oq1sr]

Can you do a stretching routine for sprinters.

[@Leonidas-eu9bb]

I have the perfect drill for this. It's basically running in the air, whitout any ground contact. This is much simpler done as it seems.

[@ethvn.5]

Can u explain this drill to me please?

[@bui340]

So in short, to not fatigue early, you think about having an active foot strike from start to finish?

[@ATHLETE.X]

Essentially. Focus on what's happening leading to the foot strike (accelerating the leg and attacking through the air in the right direction). Don't wait to feel the ground to do something.

[@davidmenches5135]

Seriously need some help, read a study that says pylometrics should be trained in 8 week blocks, does that mean don’t do any until I get to that block? Or still utilize some low stress ones

[@user-ze3sg6ix1u]

Which study?

[@royekkel2556]

What que do you like for that? If not like the que from Altis 'the ground is our friend' the first 30 meters. What que would you better like ? Thanks

[@ATHLETE.X]

I tend to tell people "knee down" from the point where you feel you knee is up on the front side. Other ideas are step down from the front, step down through the air, slice through the air, stuff like that.

[@Christian-se5si]

I like to think pull back. Often when ppl are told to just step down, they js end up stomping down with no backwards motion.

[@Christian-se5si]

I dont like this whole “the ground is your friend” idea i see alot of coaches preaching during the start. Yes contact times are longer in the start but never purposely lengthening them unless theres something deeply wrong with your technique. The start is not a muscular pushing motion, its an elastic tendon driven motion where you strike the ground and bounce off of it

[@helios4425]

One tip I found that helps me with this concept is scissoring the legs mid air. This allows me to drive down into the ground with more force. I had a hard time applying force into the ground until I realized you can't apply force down if your other leg is back behind you, so the faster you get in front, the faster the other one goes down into the ground.

[@jadonplays1011]

My coach often says “stab” at the ground or “attack back” which helped me alot

[@26Bibles]

My form looks good but I pop up around 15 yards, is that too early or can that work for some people?

[@26Bibles]

I’m hitting around 17 mph in 10 yards and my top end is around 22

[@jadonplays1011]

Could be a lack of core strength to keep your posture in the right positions🤷🏾‍♂️

[@26Bibles]

idk if its core, probably would be more ankle then core @@jadonplays1011

[@sahidhussain5761]

Bro why don't you make video of drills in each phase and technique of sprint

[@oliverjones4044]

what's your best 100m time?

[@ATHLETE.X]

10.69
