Chris Korfist presents strategies and mechanics for improving acceleration in the first ten meters.

Winning the First 10m | How to Improve Acceleration. This is part one of a presentation on speed development. This presentation was a part of TFC Chicago 2023. Too many times, in amateur athletics, an athletes career gets cut short based on the fact that they are simply just not fast enough to play “at the next level”. Whether it is a 40 yd dash, 60 yd dash or a big vertical jump, we aim to get you the times and heights you need to turn heads and get noticed. Slowguyspeedschool.com Instagram: Coach Chris Korfist

What commenters say. Recommended as a great lecture on building a better ten-meter start and the role of plantar flexion.
