As one of the 13 discs in the The Best of British Track & Field Series collection, this DVD is hosted by Graham Knight who is the Great Britain National Hurdles Coach and Technical Director of Sprints, Relays and Hurdles. Coach Knight shares over 40 years of coaching experience as he shares the drills that develop the technical elements of the high hurdle athlete. Knight begins with the most critical element, the lead leg. The technique includes technical breakdown and drill progressions in a walking, skipping, and running sequences. Coach Knight believes that "time in the air is time wasted" and his drills focus on getting the lead leg down quickly off the hurdle. Next, the focus turns to a technical breakdown on the trail leg and includes techniques and drills to keep the body tall. Techniques for teaching proper arm mechanics are also incorporated to ensure balance and coordination to return to the proper sprint position. Also included are on-ground mobility exercises and trail leg isolation drills. Get your copy at ChampionshipProductions.com.
