I am looking for a video clip that I can use to show athtletes the proper angles for running and more importantly the start.
Really looking for something that shows a good straight line from head to toe - with the proper angle coming out of the blocks.
I do a lot of video review and I am unable to use a clip from the GPP video - I do have pictures from clinics from charlie, but would really like a good video that does not show the head dropped liek many runners do today.
Well I know a site that has alot of clips of Ben Johnson practicing his double footed start. I forgot what it is I will give to you ASAP. I will give you those videos I think its about 12 if you can trade me some Gail Devers or Gwen Torrence videos.(It’s okay if you don’t have them). But I will give you those videos.
Easily one of my favorite pics, brings a smile to my face everytime I saw it. Speaking of Ben, I just saw him…he was a little miffed I forgot to get him into the last Playboy party. Which itself was so good I forgot I was there!
And I can easily spend a few minutes just watching it… Superb!
What’s that site of his again with the clothes for people here to see? Hope he’s doing well with it! Any news of his are always welcome to the forum!
an interesting note…in a very recent BBC interview he was asked about current 100m performances and said he could run 9.5 if he would run on today’s surfaces.
I am not sure I am still looking around. I know it has a video of him training I am still looking around. Do know anyone who has any Gail or Gwen Torrence videos.
The one you want about is START is the first video. Click his picture. Then they’ll tell you about start and how much power he generates coming out of the blocks I think they’ll show him starting. But I’ll think they’ll focus more on his double footed start. The Double footed start is a better way to get out. That is out I get out the blocks personally. I hope you enjoy it !!!
