Presenter, unless your athlete was tested under same conditions while running the 60 meters (6.73 seconds and 6.67 s), you can NOT conclude that the athlete ran faster; it seems that the 6.67 seconds was meassured outdoors, the improvement is likely to have been due to tailwind! Secondly, the difference between 6.73 s and 6.67 s is often due to the fact that NO athlete is a machine: In one race - for instance in a preliminary heat - the athlete runs 6.67, in the next - the final - 6.73, even on the same day! Summa summarum: You can NOT conclude that your athlete's acceleration + 60-m time solely improved because he in training had run longer distances (60-250 m)!
If gps reports show games & training as ‘medium’, should you spend time in pre season running at ‘medium’ and then as games and training become more frequent/technical back off from medium to high & low?
Im just curious about your thoughts about the inflated-deflated example. When looking at the top sprinters they resemble way more the low hips example and less like the very upright sprinter. Especially in acceleration but also in top speed. Any thoughts about this ”squatted run”?
Bandwidth to everything. There's some advantage to bring a little lower with a posteriorly tilted pelvis as it allows for a higher blocking position on the front side. But too upright or too low are both bad.
No elite sprinters don't ran with lower hips or higher. It's about the ratio of horizontal to vertical displacement of the COM! The faster more elite the athlete the higher the ratio. A higher ratio means less up down bounce and/or a flatter curve of the COM. Just look at joggers from the front. they bounce vertically a lot without much getting horizontal distance. When sprinting this vertical motion stays relative the same for the same runner. What changes is the horizontal vector increases with faster speeds. We just need so much vertical lift/air time to reposition the limbs. If we fail to get enough air time/vertical lift we will overstride/ brake at the following touchdown and slow down. So we need vertical lift to not slow down. But to get faster we need more horizontal projection.
Hey Strength Coach Network Can you explain how your course works and what can I expect from the course. I m a powerlifting and gen pop coach, probably wont transition into strength and conditioning but I want to learn as much as I can
Look at the feet ground contact moment of good sprinters- Gatlin, Coleman, Lyles, Guy, Asafa - they all are running "lower than their normal height" - they stay high on feet balls but with low hips and pelvis. What you tell about running with high hips is pure nonsense
@@herculesas8025 "so you want to be a sprinter" by Bud Winter, 2010 revised edition - Page 22 - 9) "Keep hips forward, back straight. Don't run sitting in a bucket. Note straight line from back of head to heel". He states multiple times to not drop the hip which you would have to do get "low hips and pelvis"
@mozzey0 correct - ther is "don't sit in the bucket" but "high" means high on toes, not high pelvis - you'll find it laterizi in the book, You need to pay attention reading. See, when pelvis is high you have longer way for foot to the ground, hitting the ground is week because toes barely touch and larger leg circle (pelvis being high) is slower - so no frequency and no force transmitted

Great presentation Derek
Indeed

Our Fundamentals course is open right now (December only); check out if it's for you by going here - strengthcoachnetwork.com/fundamentals
Has Derek made multiple presentations on SCN or just the one?
Sometimes I have trouble navigating and finding everything.
Just the one
You did he develop?
??
I’m no longer making my athletes slower after this video
That's a relief 😅

what population athletes do you work with?
@StrengthCoachNetwork 100m dash - with sprinters. Regarding running position I just quote Bud Winters, the couch of Lee Evans and Tommy Smith

@@herculesas8025 Im paying attention and i know what im reading. High on balls of feet is another point - not the same point. Read up.
