Coach Walter Curry, Boston College, stresses the basic fundamentals of hurdling and identifies the common errors in technique that slow the athlete’s performance. Two of his graduates (Andrea Melton, 13.61 & Troy Semper, 52.20) demonstrate aspects discussed as well as the use of numerous other visuals from other Championship Production tapes (High Hurdles & Hurdling: Technique and Training for Women). Hurdle technique is broken down into five phases. About seven minutes is focused on nine errors, the reason for the problem, and what you can do to make corrections. About five minutes is used to explain 10 hurdle drills. Additional sections include: Starts & finishes, avoiding injury, warm-up and stretching, and observation of hurdle technique. Championship Productions.com offers this 1998 release as part of the Common Errors and Corrections Series.
