Lloyd Richardson - Developing the Young Sprinter

Developing the Young Sprinter provides an overview of the key factors involved in identifying and training young sprinters. On a top-to-bottom basis, the DVD details how the various body parts work together when sprinting. The DVD also outlines the biomechanics, body position, and techniques, for each of the basic junctures of the sprint—set position, initial strides, drive phase, sprint-maintenance phase, and finish. Each critical element is explained and demonstrated in an easy-to-understand manner.

Among the topics covered: 

• Identifying your sprinters 
• Working body parts individually (top to bottom) 
• Putting it all together 
• Rolling start 
• Introducing the starting blocks 
• Set position 
• The first stride 
• Steps 2 & 3 
• The drive phase 
• The sprint-maintenance phase 
• The finish
