From the Starting Blocks to the First Hurdle

In this video, I discuss the approach to the first hurdle, breaking down video of a 7-stepper that I coach, and of another video where the 7-stepper practices his start against an 8-stepper. Biggest takeaways: 1) don't pop up out of the blocks, 2) don't pop up when you look up, 3) stay forward and keep driving through the hurdle.

Great analysis. The start is my biggest problem and this analysis will definitely be useful for me. Thank you

Nice videos. My daughter is a hurdler and wondered why you didn't show the still shot of them going over so that she can see the the lead and trail leg formation over the hurdle.

Guess I could’ve done that but didn’t think of it, as my focus was on the approach to the hurdle more so than the clearance of the hurdle itself.
