Sprint

Everyone wants to run faster, but can you actually fix someone's technique in just a few minutes? Today, I'm doing a speed session with five athletes, but here's the challenge. They sprint once, I get just a few minutes to give them one drill, then they sprint again. One, go! Two runs, one shot to make them faster. Is it possible to see instant changes in their technique? Let's find out. Before we get started, I'm taking everyone through a proper warm-up because nobody is allowed to pull a hamstring. During my session, the first one up is Emil. Ready, set, go! Push, push. It's the first time we're looking at Emil's technique. We're seeing a very straightforward fix, w Now, it sounds a bit counter-intuitive. How could relaxing help someone run faster? But if you t But if you relax, now you can swing faster. And it's the same t At some point, you have to be able to relax the body. So the drill I'm going to give you is we're going to stand in position. I want to just do arm swings Because if we keep the face relaxed and the hands relaxed, everyt So let's just stand in position five seconds, just. . . and look straight ahead and relax the shoulders. There you go. That's it. That's it right there. There you go. Okay, elbow drive. Elbow drive. Go with your elbow. Look, I got you right now. So touch my hands be Yup, and now relax your shoulders. Okay. There you go. The main t Okay, now let'see if there's any noticeable difference. Three, two, one, go! For sure there's a change in He appears much more relaxed now. You can notice Off camera, we also talked about the ankle, w It could be a result of restricted ankle mobility, t And I want to give a quick shout out to our boy right now, Chris of Physio, who brought These guys are training to be elite professional soccer players. And right now we have them out here today to demonstrate and to help us out. And you can find Chris Instagram down below in the description. Shout out to the elite coach. Let's go. Next is Steven. Steven Briggs. Ready? Three, two, one, go! We need to work on your recovery. Because when you're running, right now the leg is swinging up too And we don't want to have the bottom of the shoe facing up to the sky. You want to have a more efficient recovery. So instead of t So we stand right here and then we do one, two, three. One, two, three. One, two, three. One, two, three. One, two, three. You're going to do it again, but t Because now the challenge is, can we recover the leg fast enough and switch fast enough to land with the straight leg? Straight good. Two, three. There you go. There you go. That was a good one. Yup. And now we will have them run again. Steven Briggs. Ready? Three, two, one, go. In t If we look side by side, frame by frame, I noticed that after a few minutes, he is already striking on the ball of Steven still has a lot of work to do such as knees landing far apart, but for the sake of making t I put together a free program called Speed Blueprint.

Three, two, one, go. Alright, so one t Here, you have to wait for t However, if you land and you're already there, you can instantly get into the next try. Switch, switch, switch, switch. What we're teac What we're going to do is I'm going to have Sultan do the drill for a few meters, speed it up for a few more meters, and then finally go from that into the run. Go! Remember, during t We saw minimal improvement with Sultan, w He only spent five minutes with one drill. For someone Now, it's time for Abdul to s On the go, okay? Three, two, one, go. Push, push, push. Chris has been working with At this one, I'm going to give you a j So you j There you go, there you go. There you go. That one's easy for you. Yes, come, come, come, come. One more.

Upon closer analysis later, I realized that He's almost got it down on Finally, we have Francesco. Four, two, one, go. At first, it's a little bit difficult to break down Francesco. When analyzing t So my eyes are correct. I'm not imagining the body doesn't have to be completely symmetrical because it isn't perfect. However, if there's big asymmetries, I pay attention because it could lead to problems. So I'm going to give So you step knee Yup, yup, just Good. All the way to that first cone right there. When you come up, make sure you keep the heel not Boom, there you go. There you go. And now we will have Francesco, two, three, two, one, go. After the drill, If you're advanced, you might have better technique, but changing your movement patterns will take more time because they're so deeply ingrained. If you're a beginner, you might have more to learn, but you can make changes even faster. In just five minutes, we made a few tweaks to some of their mechanics. Now it's time for them to put in the work and make real lasting changes. Here's a video you might enjoy as been recommended to you by the all powerful YouTube algorithm.
