Les Spellman explains acceleration mechanics and how to create force during a whiteboard session.

What's up everyone? First time I'm posting back to back videos. Here's another white board session talking through the acceleration phase and how to create force. As always, drop a comment below if you like the video! FREE PDF: How To Build A Speed Training System train.lesspellman.com/speedsystem I just released my NEW course "Art Of Acceleration: Coach's Guide To Programming For Speed"! The purpose of this course is to share my step-by-step speed development process to profile, study, analyze, program, and give feedback to your athletes.

FAQ | RESOURCE LIST | S-TIER POSTS Hello! Welcome to the new and improved FAQ/Resource List/S-Tier Post list. This has been created with the idea that if you look into, read, listen, and watch all of the resources that are listed, you will have a foundational level of knowledge that makes up the majority of what you need to understand as it comes to physical development and theoretical application in programming for sprinting. Every single resource on this list I (BDD) have personally gone through probably several times over. Watching, reading, listening, studying, I still reference them regularly. I have to admit, the most complete resources on this list and the most helpful (In my opinio…

On “I know my start is shit but any tips on how to actually COMMIT with my hips and everything?”

There’s some good material on YouTube for acceleration mechanics / drills: Tony Holler / Feed the Cats: link to this video Les Spellman: link to this video

On “how’s my block start”

…You’re also forcing your head down to “stay low” but it’s compromising your posture and body angles. Try to maintain alignment and gradually rise. See how you’re already striking vertically by the 3rd step. Actively striking back and pushing will help you “stay low” while maintaining good angles.
