Coach Harvey is joined by athlete Nichole Thomas as they discuss and demonstrate about two dozen hurdle drills. The first seven drills are for strengthening and range of motion and take 11 minutes to describe. Some of these drills incorporate surgical tubing for added resistance. Next are six sprint mechanics drills that any athlete seeking improved speed could perform. The third section is on rhythm drills where eight drill options are presented. The last section is six minutes for the advanced hurdler that includes over speed training and one step drills. Throughout this video Coach Harvey stresses the importance in keeping as close as possible to maintaining proper sprint mechanics when performing the hurdle action. This is an excellent video for the beginning athlete with some additional challenges present for the more advanced hurdler. Unfortunately, this title was discontinued from Championship Productions.com when they phased out all VHS production in the summer of 2007.
