The Jamaica’s Track Team took the world by storm during the 2008 Olympic Games by bringing home six gold medals in the sprint events. World records from Usain Bolt and a clean sweep of the women’s 100 meters showcased their athletes. Here is your chance to join Jamaican National Team Assistant Coach Maurice Wilson as he shares the drills for speed that the Jamaican sprinters use to dominate the short sprint events. The intensive technical instruction covers each phase of the race from the call to the starting line to each phase through the finish. In addition, the strength training routine is shared that includes endurance drills, acceleration drills, max velocity drills and a six-exercise sequence of contrast training. Coach Wilson places these training techniques into seasonal planning, and illustrates both the frequency and duration needed to maximizing the training benefits. Lastly, it is a real bonus to hear Coach Wilson break down race footage of two national high school 100M races. If you thought you would never know the secrets to Jamaica’s recent dominance than look no further than this DVD for proven drills for speed and technique. This is one of three DVDs in the Sprinting the Jamaican Way Series produced by Championship Productions.
