Ridiculous. Wonder if she'll try double arm swings for the bounds.

Also, she could probably have that heel run a bit more towards the butt and don't let it hang back when she sprints. You know, "imagine it's a glass wall at your back" kind of thing. At least, this is what I see in terms of possible improvements.

Thanks, and thanks for the tips

yeah on the sprint it looks as if she could get more glute involvement as well.  she still seems to be a bit of a  "push runner" at least if i am looking at it correctly.

skips look really impressive though...awesome

Thanks!   Yeah, that's probably true. Do you have any advice on  how  I can improve it?

ha, it comes from being more glute dominant in the way you sprint, maybe work on glute activation and recruitment...i don't really know though.  The coaches chris korfist and dan fichter specialize in that sort of thing so you should post this video on their site and see what they think.

so the site is wannagetfast.com and join the forum, post the video and see if they'll analyze it for you there

Just out of curiosity, what are your sprint times likes (10m fly,30,60,100,200 ect.)?

What are the pbs in LJ and HJ at these days? 

Cool thread I'd never noticed this before. I might consider incorporating a few weeks of progressive calf raises and some direct hip hyperextension work (isolated glute work) in the form of partner assisted or manual reverse hyperextensions, barbell hip thrusts, or sled marches.  You will notice a near immediate difference in the extension on your sprints with that.

Re: the calf work, have you ever had shin splints? Occassionally on some of your jumps your feet look to be under some stress.  The calf work would probably help you stay smoother absorbing force (see some of Steffan Holms videos and notice how quiet he is when landing on all his drills).  You definitely have the structure there to work with and a good nervous system.

What's your personal record on your vertical jump?

Thanks for the comment. I do already do these exercices on a weekly basis. The reason for why the landings might seem to be a little ''un smooth'' is probably because I'm not used to my new spikes yet. It's kinda different doing them in long jump spikes vs triple jump spikes. When it comes to sprinting, I could definitely work on my technique

What's the difference? I've always used sprint spikes, or at least I think so.

The TJ spikes have a flat sole, heel and toe equal. They're also quite soft. But at adidas' LJ spikes the heel is much lower that the toe and the sole is very stiff, hard.
