Speed Drills and Mechanics for Sprinters, by Coach Ed Barber, presents an exceptional teaching tool for track and field coaches who want to enhance the skills and technique level of their sprinters.
Coach Barber details the key factors involved in the four phases of sprinting: phase 1-block clearance (parts I & II); phase 2-drive (acceleration I); phase 3-transition (acceleration II); and phase 4-maximum velocity.
Coach Barber also reviews the attributes that characterize being a good/great coach.
