I mean the running form could be due to poor coordination and lack of body awareness in space. She might grow into that. Otherwise, start slow and have low expectations.
Hey! So sorry we missed this! Someone touched on it - but it's often just motor skills pattern that came from poor coordination & now has been slightly engrained. Under 10 (or even 12) this is super easy to fix. Use these types of drills and focus on 3 things: 1) Getting low in the hips 2) Getting light on your toes 3) Pumping your arms. Usually when kids find this "athletic position" in speed drills, it translates across all their movements.
Great question. We like speed sessions 2-3 times per week. If you like to keep speed drills to "short and intense" - so that often means working under 10 seconds or around 5-6 reps. Take lots of rest here so it doesn't turn into "conditioning" work. We want to focus on max intensity each time we're hitting the drill!
Great drills🔥🔥
How would I incorporate this for my daughter who is under 10 and has a really weird running form?
Fix her running form.

Great vid! Have a 15 yo daughter. How long for each exercise (ie. rep)? and how many sets for each exercise and how many times per week? Thanks!
