Learn the most common mistakes athletes make in their sprinting technique and how to avoid them. In this lesson, Coach Karim shares the mistakes he's seen athletes make while working with elite sprinters and football players preparing for the NFL Draft Combine.
Let's start with the most common mistake, staying too low when coming out of the starting blocks or at the beginning of the sprint. You will learn why staying low drastically reduces the ability to transfer power to the ground and results in a slower speed. Coach Karim gives an effective hint to solve this problem.
Another common mistake is bending at the waist. This technical error also inhibits speed and results in slower times and can potentially lead to injury. Learn how to identify a "false bend" and get some tips on optimal sprint biomechanics.
Athlete Insight Sections – Olympians Jeremy Dodson and Janay DeLoach talk about the biggest myths and worst advice they heard in high school and why you should avoid them if you want to reach your potential.
