A quick negative step makes you much more explosive. Everyone (including 4 year old kids) do it for a reason. I hope nobody starts teaching their athletes to not step backwards.
Also in basketball, if you start stepping backwards on defense every time you're wanting to go forward it makes it super easy for the ballhandler to read you and blow by you.
@@Juanpabball No sprinter does that because their feet start in a staggered stance. Staggered stance is explosive. And the quickest way to transition from an even stance to a staggered stance is by performing a quick negative step.

Same question for you, how many hundred mtr sprinters are taking a step back at the start line?

@@Juanpabball lmfao EVERY sprinter takes a step back at the start line
It's called the starting blocks! And that's what the step is to emulate
Evidently coach Showalter hasn’t heard of a plyo step. He should check out Lee Taft.
