yeah on the sprint it looks as if she could get more glute involvement as well. she still seems to be a bit of a "push runner" at least if i am looking at it correctly.

skips look really impressive though...awesome

Thanks!

Yeah, that's probably true. Do you have any advice on how I can improve it?

Ridiculous. Wonder if she'll try double arm swings for the bounds.

Also, she could probably have that heel run a bit more towards the butt and don't let it hang back when she sprints. You know, "imagine it's a glass wall at your back" kind of thing. At least, this is what I see in terms of possible improvements.

Thanks, and thanks for the tips

I'm no expert on sprints, but it looks like you take "short steps" instead of extending the front leg all the way and then pulling your leg back once it hits the ground (maybe i'm wrong lol)

those bounds look ridiculous!

ha, it comes from being more glute dominant in the way you sprint, maybe work on glute activation and recruitment...i don't really know though. The coaches chris korfist and dan fichter specialize in that sort of thing so you should post this video on their site and see what they think.

so the site is wannagetfast.com and join the forum, post the video and see if they'll analyze it for you there

Francis himself might be dead but there are a bunch of good coaches on there who will be happy to give you form advice.

Just out of curiosity, what are your sprint times likes (10m fly,30,60,100,200 ect.)?

What are the pbs in LJ and HJ at these days?

I really don't know my sprinting times at the moment. But I'll probably run some 60meters and do the high, long, triple jump next month. I'll keep you updated

The indoor season is not my main goal anyway, but it would be nice to run fast and jump well

Hehe

Cool thread I'd never noticed this before. I might consider incorporating a few weeks of progressive calf raises and some direct hip hyperextension work (isolated glute work) in the form of partner assisted or manual reverse hyperextensions, barbell hip thrusts, or sled marches. You will notice a near immediate difference in the extension on your sprints with that.

Re: the calf work, have you ever had shin splints? Occassionally on some of your jumps your feet look to be under some stress. The calf work would probably help you stay smoother absorbing force (see some of Steffan Holms videos and notice how quiet he is when landing on all his drills). You definitely have the structure there to work with and a good nervous system.

Thanks for the comment. I do already do these exercices on a weekly basis. The reason for why the landings might seem to be a little ''un smooth'' is probably because I'm not used to my new spikes yet. It's kinda different doing them in long jump spikes vs triple jump spikes. When it comes to sprinting, I could definitely work on my technique

What's your personal record on your vertical jump?

I haven't tested it yet.. I keep telling my school to buy a vertec. Maybe I'll use a basketall rim to test it, because it would be nice to know:) What's yours?

What's the difference? I've always used sprint spikes, or at least I think so.

I've always jump to see how high I get over the basketball rim and Im 2" from getting my whole hand over the rim. I'm 6'0" tall so that helps. Also how long did it take you to get that strong I just started doing squats and I barely get 170 lbs 2x how long does it take till I'm doing 8 reps of that? And how often would you recommend I do them. Meaning, should I practice daily, every other day...
Any advice on getting stronger in my lower body would be greatly appreciated!

The TJ spikes have a flat sole, heel and toe equal. They're also quite soft. But at adidas' LJ spikes the heel is much lower that the toe and the sole is very stiff, hard.

That's pretty good! I don't know any girls who are even close to touching the rim. I'm kinda short, but I still think it's possible some day

During my first months of weight training, I did parallell squats. After about 6 months, I started doing full atg squats and half squats at 120 degree angle. (I know a lot of european world class athletes do it that way) That's what I would recommend.

As a start you can do weightlifting twice a week. Power cleans, back-jerks/jerks, squats, lunges and calf-raises etc are great exercices. Pick one explosive lift, one strength lift and one plyometric exercise each session

And then increase the volume/variety of exercices after a while.

Good luck!
