Join University of Florida Head Coach Mike Holloway as he shares how to develop the components of a sprinter: power, flexibility, elasticity, and the willingness to be a student of the event. Numerous aspects are covered in this DVD including sprint drills, the start, and race phases for the 100, 200, and 400 meter dash events. The key to the drill section is to train the body to perform proper body mechanics in order to have low contact time with the ground. The start is demonstrated, including a section on common errors and how to make corrections. The race is broken down into three sections: drive, acceleration, and maintenance. Although body position is emphasized, the mental tools needed to succeed at these explosive events are also presented. The three race distances are compared and contrasted with actual race footage to illustrate the fundamentals of each race. You may order this instructional presentation through ChampionshipProductions.com either individually or as part of the seven DVD Tips & Drills series that covers running, throwing, and jumping events.
