What commenters say. Recommended for studying professional starting techniques, low heel recovery, and proper shin angles during the drive phase.

Block Start |feat: Asafa Powell, Trayvon Bromell, Christian Coleman ,Usain Bolt| This is a great video, showing the difference between different starting techniques. This is on a professional level. A good look at what sprinters who are serious about running could learn from. Keep working, run to win!

On “Start”

There's no drive phase. You look amazing in the blocks then it's just gone. You have to lean forward in the drive and pump your arms. I would recommend watching this link to this video You seem to have the talent for a killer block start eventually

Ok, so check out this video, at ~0:40, you can see how low his feet are when he’s starting - and this is also a really good example of shin angle too, you can see how his shins are almost parallel to the ground on his first step or two link to this video

On “What can I improve on coming out of the blocks?”

Keep that arm thrown out good, although it already looks very very good I’d try to keep that left foot a little closer to the ground. With block starts you kinda wanna start with shorter steps, if you watch professional track starts you will see that they always have kind of a stutter or slightly drag their feet when coming off the blocks I will have a video for example for you link to this video Skip down to the time stamp 1:08 and that would be a perfect example of what I’m talking abt👍🏼👍🏼 Other than that form looks almost perfect and probably better than mine😂good luck!!

On “Looking for start analysis/help”

It’s not stupid. In a way you do want to tell yourself “I’m purely focused on pushing off the ground,” but as I said, this is only one phase of the race. If you’re running a 60m or a 100, the first phase of the race, the drive phase, is the key to maintaining your speed till the end of the race. So, yes it is a bit of a mind game to essentially tell yourself to get as many and as powerful of steps as you can. Watch this video. Specifically 1:30 and 3:39 and you’ll see the power these guys get in a short period. link to this video
