Coach, please do a video for beginner hurdler who have a fear of making the 3 steps in between the hurdles. It seems most beginner hurdlers over stride to make the 3 steps. What do you suggest?
I’m laughing cause I just was rereading this article cause I couldn’t find out why I was still swinging my lead leg lol I was thinking of doing a video myself great video are you still in the Charlotte area coach ?
For the first part of the video they were doing block starts, so the hurdles were at race height and moved in one foot from race spacing. For the popover drill I keep the hurdles at least one click below race height, and often two clicks. The spacing there is usually 12 feet between the hurdles, maybe up to 14 feet for males.
What would you recommend I do as a high school coach over 300 hurdlers for the first week with athletes who have never done it before? Most of them are very new to track in general. @@stevemcgillhurdles
@@aarontoalet a whole lot of stuff. Some speed-endurance work so they can handle the distance, some hurdle drilling to improve their hurdling technique, some full-speed hurdling over the first 2-3 hurdles to get them a feel for the rhythm of the race.
@@tracc_dak4660 okay I’ll do one on that topic and one on 3-stepping for beginners, since someone else asked me to do a video on that a little while back. I should have time this summer to put those together.
The foundational principles are the same, I would say, even over 42’s. But yes, it’s a lot easier for women to put their bodies in the most effective positioning. The most important foundational principle in this video is make sure the lead leg knee is higher than the crossbar before extending the foot.
