    Sprinter is moving the blocks a couple inches closer to the start line than the coach's instructions. Probably why he can't straighten his back.

    There’s no easy way to improve. You have to put in the work. Since it’s your first sport, go into each meet trying to have fun rather than win all your races, because you won’t. Talk with your coaches regularly to see what you can realistically improve on in one season and go from there.

    yoo samee kinda. im in grade 10 and ive been wanting to do track as well. i did 100 meter once in grade 7 but couldnt do it the other years because of covid but now i am happy to finally be able to properly do 100m. ive always told myself i shouldnt do sprints beacause i am on the skinner side and i know its better to not be beacuse you can put more force into the ground. do you think i stand a chance agaisnt other people who are not as skinny as me?

    Block placement hindering his zero step,let that hind foot go another finger length so he can lif his hips and get proper placement and his first step will be more efficient

    Yea, spot on. There is a 90 degree angle on both his legs, instead of 90 and 125 [02:38]. The position of his left leg is a bit better on the actual start, but generally, I found this demo a bit lacking. Best demo in my opinion is by Carl Lewis and Coach Tellez.

    Which side foot is the forward foot, how do you determine which foot is the front leg & what is the purpose?

  • @ariapplefarm

    your back foot is the strong foot (the foot you would use to kick a ball with or jump off of) and the weak foot in the front. From what I understand the strong foot is in the back because its the foot you intially push out with when starting your run.

    Your dominant foot is back. I figured out by my friend pushing me and my first step was with my left foot so my left foot is back

    I'm confused. The instructor emphasized pushing both heels against the blocks before starting, yet at the start the trailing leg heel is against the block but the forward heel is NOT against the block (4:02)...?

    Block distance based on foot length is a stupid, lazy way to setup. It should be based on leg length. Check out athlete x on KZread for a good way to setup
