The Complete Track and Field Coach

About this course

This course takes you through 8 track and field events to provide you with everything you need to teach effective technique in any event.Starting with the fundamental skills, we'll break the events down into their key components and delve down into technical aspects of each and how each of them contribute to the overall technical model. Along the way, we'll take a look at some of the key drills for developing effective technique and I'll share some tricks and tips to take you to higher performance.Here's an overview of what's included:SprintingWe'll work through the basics of accelerations and how to set and adjust the starting blocks, how to develop an effective upright sprinting to improve maximum running speed, and how to perform the transition phase to seamlessly move from the acceleration phase into the maximum velocity phase to complete your race model.HurdlesWe'll develop and effective lead and trail leg technique and look at how we can adapt our sprinting technique to improve our speed between the hurdles. We'll also look at how to adapt the hurdles to different ages and abilities and how to start creating strength and speed in hurdling for improved performance.Long JumpWe'll develop a simple but effective takeoff and landing for our beginner athletes, before taking a deep dive into the penultimate step and flight mechanics for maximising distance in the jump. We'll also break down the runway to apply our sprinting skills for a fast but accurate approach to the board.Triple JumpDuring the triple jump module. we'll look at effective jumping and landing technique to develop bounding skills and we'll work through each of the hop, step and jump phases to create an effective technique and an even rhythm in jumping.High JumpWe'll learn how to use the curve to teach the Fosbury Flop technique to athletes of any age. Taking a deep dive into the mechanics of an effective tak
