Sprinting Part 3 – Sprint Technique Troubleshooting: Identifying and Correcting Common Sprinting Errors
Even with a well-structured training program, technical faults can limit an athlete’s sprint performance. Sprinting is a highly complex motor skill that requires coordination, precise force application, and efficient biomechanics. Suboptimal movement patterns not only reduce performance but also increase the risk of injury. Therefore, coaches must possess the tools to assess, identify, and correct common sprinting errors.
Sprinting Part 2 – The Role of Sprint-Specific Strength in Speed Development: Bridging the Gap Between the Weight Room and the Field
While sprinting may appear to be an exclusively skill-based movement, performance is deeply rooted in strength expression and power production. However, not all strength translates equally to sprinting. The key lies in developing sprint-specific strength
Sprinting Part 1 – Mastering the Phases of Speed: Science, Skill, and Application
Sprinting is a fundamental component of athletic performance in nearly every field and court sport. We can define sprinting as the ability to run at maximum or near maximal speeds.
What It Really Takes to Develop Speed in Athletes: A Science-Based Approach
Speed is one of the most revered attributes in sport. This is why the 40 yard dash is still one of the most popular events at professional sporting combines in the U.S.
