Start / Drive Improvements

Hi Guys

I appreciate this is something brought up in many threads, but I was just wondering if you could give me some advice.

During the 60m/100m race, quite often when starting I am getting to 10m along with the other athletes, then dropping off between 10-30m, before picking up again 30+m.

Do you think this is technique / strength based (I appreciate that you would probably need video evidence to answer this properly)? If so, could you think of common technical problems I could be making?

In terms of strength, I am currently early-20s, and can clean around the 140kg mark, and squat around the 200kg mark, levels which I believe are fairly similar to athletes of my calibre. I have a small amount of experience in plyometrics, but do not do a great deal of these. Are there any specific training / strength drills I could do to improve this portion of my race?

Any help really would be appreciated.

Thanks
