How to Execute a 100m Sprint - Part 1 (0-20m)

This video is the first episode in our series where we will be giving an in-depth look at how to run the 100m event from start to finish, with each episode highlighting a 20metre segment of the race.

The coach at Auburn University, which has excellent sprinters, apparently coaches them to get up into their running much early, similar as you mentioned with the french sprinter Vicaut

At 7:07 I meant to say Horiztonal Forces not Vertical

Great video. I just want to add something. Nothing major. When exiting the blocks. There's a moment where the front leg reaches full extention and you can draw a line from the foot to your head.
It's called "Triple extension". Triple because the 3 points that are lined up are your feet, hips and head. In fact the thumbnail in the video is exactly that.

everybody knows what it is!
Triple extension should not be intended for an effective start by the way. Indeed it's a big mistake to fully triple extend, because it's more efficient to quickly recover instead!

I don't know you but through your channel, I love you like a brother ❤. Solid work as always

I think you are wrong about the forces.
Horizontal force is always the most important force. At top speed horizontal force must be still present because of wind resistance and breaking forces in the early stance phase.
More Vertical force doe NOT make one faster. It's just necesscary to get enough fligth time to reposition the limbs.
Faster sprinters are able to create more horizontal force in relation to vertical force. That means at the same running velocity they apply more horizontal force.
Longer legs are an advantage to achieve a higher top speed because longer levers make it easier to produce more horizontal force! More horizontal force = more horizontal speed!
