Top 3 Sprint Drills Used to Fix Mechanical Issues

Latif Thomas simplifies teaching sprint drills to your athletes. In this clip, he addresses the proper way to both teach and perform drills such as the 'A March,' 'A Skip' and 'Fast Leg.'
REMEMBER: Drills don't teach or fix full speed technique. They just reinforce proper ranges of motion.

Thank you!!! I’ve been training sprints myself and any type of exercise I can pick up to help is super useful thank you!

Nice Intro to "A" skips. I find coordination and self-awareness the biggest obstacles facing young sprinters. Most of the time if i ask kids to "A" skip, it turns into high knee bounds, even after marches. Thanks again - this helps break it down into manageable chunks. FYI, Coaches Eye App is a must have!

YES! You've stopped my brain from melting :) Thank you for making this video. I am trying to learn better form and this is the level I am at.

Thank you

Very nice and detailed video!
Just want to ask if it's normal that my feet don't land at the same time in a-skips? And I dont know the reason but I think i'm also shuffling my un-raised leg whenever the raised leg goes down --- i hear it slide on the floor/do an extra mini hop huhu

[@mach5jeep]

What is meant by "recovering the heel"??

[@trainharderthanthegamellc499]

I like seeing good videos! Im too improv... one thing to add is the warm up of lower legs. ive had seasoned athletes injure themselves due to other sport applications over stressing their anterior tibial anatomy. I make sure they to a heel toe walk fwd/bck and ankle rocker shuffle walking frw/bck warm up, prior to machining and skipping. other than that, good video of a bad issue with all athletes concerning mechanics.

Great

Is sprint better or skipping

[@sandrowahyu5191]

Nicee

[@senorlee8068]

What's the difference between an a-walk and a-march?

[@daconvertiblebaby69]

A march has arm action while the other is no arms

[@Hensley_Jb]

Pretty sure it’s just different names there’s a lot of discrepancies

[@Robzabest25]

is this the bread and butter to sprinting?

[@CompleteTrack]

No the 'bread and butter' to sprinting it applying the largest amount of force to the ground in the least amount of time. These drills just put you in a position to do that.

[@nickfleming3719]

These arm movements are terrible! Seriously, there is an epidemic of coaches teaching arm movements like that. The elbows are going way too far forward on the forward swing and need to go back a lot more on the back swing

[@Hensley_Jb]

Any links to see a difference cause otherwise u just sound like ur complaining

[@carlgreenwood8827]

No, you are wrong sir...watch the World Class guys...elbows and hand are high
