The Answer to the #1 Question I Get Asked (video)
By Athletes' Acceleration | June 15th, 2009
Over the years one question has been asked more
than any other.
While I try to address it on a regular basis, I
keep getting asked.
So in today’s mailbag I’m stepping out from behind
my desk to make sure you understand the #1 concept
to improving speed for athletes in *any* sport.
To your success,

P.S. Here are the specific results you can get
when you teach ’step over, drive down’ to your
athletes. Check out Lane 5:

Hey Coach,
I got the chance to meet you briefly at the New Englands prior to the 4×1. Just wanted to congratulate you on your victory! Unfortunately, we were unable to set our school record (lane 1 is tough). Hope to speak to you again in the future. Great blog today. Good luck at nationals!

I think today’s video finally got “Step Over, Drive Down” into my head. When you kept saying step over, I thought you were meaning to step with the right foot over the left knee, and vica versa, but I see you mean only to step to the point where the foot is past the knee, then drive down. The way I kept thinking about it had the runners doing some spatisic running. I got the drive down part, but the step over part had me confused. Thanks for the additional explaination. I coach young football players at Pop Warner level, and teaching them the correct way to run fast is important to me. They often never get any true training until much older, if at all. Thanks for the continued tips.

It was nice to see a video on this to know I am explaining it and demonstrating it right. This is a good setup for runners as many have too much backside or front side mechanics. A simple fix like this can make a huge difference in speed and help prevent injury.

In your complete program design package, you talk about teaching athletes to run a two hundred in different ways. Likewise for 400m. What are the different ways to run these distances and why would you choose to instruct an athlete to use one technique over another.
