Triple jump basic

The triple jump should be easy to teach to athletes. Don't think of it as 3 jumps but as one event with a series of actions.

The hop phase or 1st phase if done correctly will set up the 2nd (step) phase and the 3rd(jump) phase.

The following photos show what the athlete should look like at peak height or the apex of the 1st and 2nd phases.

Those position will allow for maximum distance on the first two phases.

This last photos shows what happens as you descend out of the apex on the 1st phase.

Bounding versus sprinting they are not the same stick drill

Video demonstrates why bounding and sprinting are not the same. Using stick drill to demo.
A x M = F work best.
Pushing is not the best way to sprint at your optimal best.

Foot and leg action block start

Why is Usain able to win this race? From the get go he is able to accelerate his feet faster than Gay. Gay would do better if he didn't reaccelerate his feet every step for the first 10 steps. You wonder why a guy with longer levers can out run a guy with shorter levers from the blocks, this video shows how and why.

This is what exploding from a start looks like

This what you should look at when exploding from a starting position. This is base on using A x M = F.
So the body becomes unstable and react forcefully to become stable in the air and upon ground contact.

Prevent hamstring injuries with A x M = F

The tremendous forces

The diverse nature of running events (sprints and hurdles, to marathons) can put runners at a high risk for injuries.
The tremendous forces generated by a sprinter out of the starting blocks place significant stress upon the knee joint, the hamstrings, and the quadriceps. From the crouched position of the start, where the hamstrings hold the knee in the flexed position, the quadriceps will extend the knee explosively at the start and drive the legs forward. It is a well-accepted principle of biomechanics that the ideal proportion in the relative strength of the quadriceps to the hamstring will be approximately 3:2. When this ratio is not observed (generally the hamstring will be weaker of the two structures), the risk of a serious hamstring pull or tear is significant.

A x M = F

This simple equation is the key to unlocking your true potential in track and field.
Force application is the word of the day but it should be acceleration. Applying more fore is not the issue, accelerating is the issue. The faster the acceleration, the greater the force one can apply at ground contact.

This equation works also for every single event in track and field.

Hurdling tip

To hurdle faster and speed up between the hurdles. Accelerate the lead arm backwards and the trail leg forward. You must do both action. Only concentrating on brining the trail leg forward places too much stress on the hip flexors and it is a slow action which does produce much force upon the foot contacting the ground.

Also have the elbow and hand of the lead arm past over the knee and foot of the trail leg almost touching each other. This will create better balance in the air allowing for the hurdler to regain stability faster upon contacting the ground.
