Session One - Skill Development Drills
In a group setting, we will teach a series of drills in a systematic sequence designed to reinforce proper frontside mechanic drill progression and provide error correction, which will turn an athlete’s weaknesses into strengths, improve skill, and increase performance by teaching strengthening exercises to enhance muscle groups considered the prime movers responsible for the actual execution of frontside mechanics and speed development.
Session Two – Event Specific Instruction
The athletes will receive an advanced instructional model on Acceleration, Speed, and Power, along with event-specific instruction tailored to teaching skills that meet the demands of their event. This includes focusing on the technical aspects, biomechanics, and training principles relevant to sprinting and hurdling.
Clinic Sprint & Hurdle Overview Objectives:
- This two-day Camp is a Speed and Hurdle Clinic, a learn-by-doing Clinic that will incorporate a group warm-up session, small groups to allow for more focused attention, and an introduction to a series of drills aimed at teaching the correct running and hurdle mechanics for optimum performance. Demonstrations during each session will introduce general, immediate, advanced, and specific training paradigms, as well as strategies to elevate participants’ skill set.
- Upon completing this Speed & Hurdle Development Clinic, each participant will know the difference between Frontside and Backside Mechanics, learn drills that will be taught in a systematic sequence designed to reinforce proper Frontside Mechanics Drill Progressions to improve overall performance and force application while providing error correction feedback, which will turn an athlete’s weaknesses into strengths regardless of age or level of skill.
- This Clinic is designed to introduce athletes and coaches to training paradigms that teach injury prevention, Frontside Mechanics, Speed, and Hurdle Development Programming.
- This Clinic introduces athletes and coaches to training paradigms that teach injury prevention, Frontside Mechanics, Speed, and Hurdle training models for High Performance. In addition, this Clinic will offer a Q&A on College Readiness.
- Coaches Registration and Education: Coaches who want to learn are welcome to register and shadow us on the track and on film throughout the camp. This learn-by-doing approach to Coaching Education involves practical, hands-on experience and reflection to develop skills and understanding in the moment. It is a coach-centered methodology in which participants actively engage with real-world practice scenarios to assist the Coach in understanding what is required for a high-performance culture. This process allows for increased engagement and a more motivating approach than traditional, lecture-based methods.
