About this course

Transition during   your sprint will occur (depending your skill level) from 10 - 30 yards for the 40 yard dash where you will start to come out of acceleration and transform to your max velocity mechanics.The natural changes from transition phase will now become fully evident and be quite similar with what's happening with your posture, arms and legs.

Posture

  • naturally rising, but still straight and stiff
  • tight braced core
  • your eyes and head will start to naturally rise slowly

Arm Action

  • Arm action will start to "tighten up" meaning get closer to the body in the front and swipe past the pocket on the backside.
  • Depending on what works best for you, think more "forward / back" with your arms or some people still respond better to "up / down" once they start to transition
  • Focus on your arm pump, not your legs if you want to go faster

Leg Action

  • moving from "piston" like from acceleration to more "cyclical" like riding a bike
  • your foot will continue to step over your shin and over your knee so it can be higher to apply more VERTICAL force down into the ground
  • Once your knee reaches maximal flexion height, hammer straight down into the track with a stiff ankle (shoe laces up) so you BOUNCE / RICOCHET off the track like a bouncy ball and maintain speed
  • Once you're foot is leaving the track, you want to pick your KNEE UP and GET IN FRONT as quickly and efficiently as possible to repeat.

Course Structure

Getting Started

Get set up quickly so you can start training and improve your sprint speed. 

We will walk you through where to start and what your first steps are to have your training be most effective!

Testing & Re-Testing

What keeps you motivated to train is progress, and you cant improve what you don't measure.

We will walk you through our testing protocol on how to safely and accurately assess your speed, strength and power.

The M.A.P.E. Warm Up System

If you want to have a better workout, go through the warm-up system.

It's designed to open up your hips and start to ramp up your nervous system so you can sprint faster and also reduce the chances of pulling a hamstring during training.

The Million Dollar Set Up

If you have a bad start your whole sprint time is affected.

Take the time to rehearse the set up 5-10 reps / day, 2-4 days / week for the month.

This will help wire your brain and muscles for effective and forceful coordination to help you get the best possible time on your 40-Yard dash.

ONLY FOR PURCHASED USERS

Acceleration

Create a powerful first step that sets the tone for your entire sprint. How well you start, will determine how well your final sprint time is.

ONLY FOR PURCHASED USERS

Transition

Make your transition from Acceleration to Max Velocity phase of your sprints smooth.

You'll learn how the posture, arm action, and leg action differ to become more cyclical and you can star to fly at max velocity.

ONLY FOR PURCHASED USERS

Max Velocity

Max Velocity is crucial to see what top speed you can achieve and maintain during your sprint.

You'll learn how your sprint mechanics change and how to stay relaxed and let it fly during your final phase of your sprint.
