Freakishly Fast: Sprinter, On The Starting Block, Track & Field, Olympic Gold Medalist (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798775723897)

This book will give you a highly detailed breakdown of the block start. You will be guided through the process of ingraining the Olympic sprinter starting mechanics into your nervous system by visualizing the descriptions in the book and following along with a video of an Olympic sprinter online.
Faster starts equal personal bests. Personal best times equal breaking and setting records, getting looks and offers from colleges or sponsors, and having the peace of mind that comes with knowing you are getting out of the blocks as fast as possible given your current strength and power levels.
Olympic sprinters use highly specific running mechanics to make the most of their starts. However, when most people watch Olympic sprinters explode out of the blocks, all they see is a group of people running super fast--most people, even coaches, miss the very specific mechanical attributes that are creating maximum power with each push-off of the ground.
Written for athletes but also an excellent resource for coaches & parents, you'll learn how poor running mechanics are causing you to waste your speed potential--perfectly good potential that could have been used to make you run a faster 40. Stop wasting that potential!
