notes:
-didn’t really keep track of volume today but worked on transfering running a form to top speed mechanics and exiting lower and getting my hips more through at the start
-i know stopwatches arent great, but i set up a 30 and ran it 2pt and did the stopwatch myself (clicked it on first movement and when my chest went by the 30) and got a 3.91. all i did was exit a bit lower and tried to accel through the 30. we’ll see if that mentality really workes when i get video time on thursday

notes:
-soreness getting less significant as im adjusting to a heavier workload again. still felt it a bit in quads, glute, obliques, triceps and abs
-in warming up i did a couple a runs into a fly and a 3pt start trying to exit with more force directed horizontally as opposed to vertically and it felt good, cant wait to try out these adjustments on thursday
You won’t be disappointed, I was a starter for 10 years before I started to coach the start. It gets more involved but that should be enough to get you where you want to be.
thanks for the support! i’m not quite sure of what your last sentence means tho…

notes:
-pr’s all around today. wind was pretty negligable and was a headwind if blowing at all yet i managed to run bests in all three tests. vertical wasnt as great as its been but i guess thats to be expected after a better than normal running session
-all times are from video frames
-in the 30m i tried to keep lower longer and it seems to have worked as with no tailwind i still ran my best. i liked the fly much better with a larger run-in, one can see my time improved a lot. i just kept running a’s in my head and my hip height, rom and such looks much better
3 pt start from today, exited lower. i overstride a tiny bit but i have more force being applied backwards instead of down which are pluses
vertical jump from today, bit lower than usual (i can get rim most of the time) im trying to reduce my angle before jumping bc its kinda deep. produce force more quickly is the goal
you have to show the coach you have sub 11 potential to be on a track team is where you want to be. Running fast:-controlling your cog in a forward plane and having a training plan is not the whole equation.
Shift the butt forward in front of footplant don’t shorten the stride length
You are taking off flat footed with knees forward. Try transferring weight backward by having the knees back, heel up and toes dorsiflexed. The goal is to make the jump more quad dominant with less ground contact.
yes yes, of course
as in less unfolding of the leg and more hip rotation to compensate?
so closer to a right angle for my foot and shin, knees more in a squat position which would mean more of a forward angle for my back to keep balance i assume. i notice many of the better nfl combine jumpers do those

notes:
-i think i will restructure my weekly schedule for the week and a half before i leave for college orientation i also need to talk to the coach abut access to training facilities for the week before practice starts
-lower quad soreness, minor pectoral soreness
I don’t get “less unfolding of the leg”.
will do for starters
I just mean the angle between my calf and hammy be smaller. Create more of a negative shin angle with the ground. And if I’m to do this the way to not shorten stride would be to rotate the hip like u said
