Ben Johnson's Start

Charlie,

Did you teach Ben his unusal start (block settings, double leg jump etc…) If so, do you teach it still. Ben had so much success with it, but why do you not see other sprinters using the same tequnique.

Seriously why ask such questions, take sometime and look around.

My thoughts, exactly. Read Speed Trap. He discusses this extensively. Or just do a 5-second search on the site.

Correction: 1-second search:

sorry to irritate everyone. I’m new to the site, and sprinting for that matter. Just trying to learn. I’ll be more careful next time…thanks for your “help”

No problem, it’s just the question comes up every week or so! Happy reading.
