Reaction Drills and Block Start Drills

Not a big drills guy for this one; I usually teach with arm cues to start so it's not one I hit on often, but my preferred arm action cues are "split your arms" or "punch past your head." You already do this well, of course! Just after that little backward movement Some drills here that may be of use - some are more focused on cueing the max range of motion of the arm action but I think the first few are probably worthwhile and modifiable just to focus on making the first movement be the split. link to this video

link to this video link to this video Take a look at those and see if you can start doing some stuff on your own without blocks to improve reaction time and maybe some form stuff. I also can't suggest enough doing plyometrics right now. Things you can do at home. You can set up some small barriers and sprint over them too. Stuff that will just fall over if you clip it on accident. And finally, if you can get out and sprint, you should. You can talk to your coach and see if they have any workouts to do or will set you up with a plan going into summer so you can come in next season with more speed built up. If you're left high and dry, I will gladly put together some sprint stuff for your summer if you want.

\+1 \^ not a flexibility issue more neat drills: [video turn your sound up, note on the first drill, they are starting movement on a 'clap!'

1) Basic block drills 2) Reaction drills 3) Explosion out of blocks and leg angles.
