40 yard dash

I’ve been coached by numerous people to emphasize the push, to be powerful rather than “quick”. I feel that although you don’t want to overstride, it is imperative to get full extension and “commit to the push”. Big ROM may feel slower than choppy strides but I feel that even a little airtime is much better than short, rather meaningless strides.

Well, the point of being truly powerful is that the ground cannot resist you making the effort feel easy. So the truly strong starters don’t feel the push as you describe it.
