I’ve got an above average hurdler, who has an issue with regularly moving backwards when he starts from blocks (my general take is that he’s removing muscle slack [I’ve been reading Bosch…]), the motion is small, but it is noticiable and probably costs .1-.05 which in the 55m hurdles is death, especially when he blows his rhythm trying to catch back up.
My cues of raise yourself into set with your back leg, and tense up at the top aren’t exactly working, anyone have any other ideas?
Thanks,
