Track & Field Drills : Starting Position in Track & Field

[Jrowe1221]

I'm currently a student a Full Sail University in the Computer Animation program. These videos have been amazing reference material for animating a good run cycle for characters. I just wanted to say thank you! While I may not run these are extremely useful!

Middle school does use blocks. Ur school might b to poor to afford them.

[TrakStR3000]

For track, this is useless. To teach a block-less start is like teaching a tennis player how to perfect an underhand serve. Shit's dumb.

[nepovjerenje]

@TrakStR3000 Middle school dosnt use blocks so POW

[3Dpapo3D]

@nepovjerenje Middle school does use blocks.

[nepovjerenje]

W.e you say bud,

[TrakStR3000]

@nepovjerenje Umm when I was in middle school, we used blocks. So, whatever POW means, right backatcha bro

[nepovjerenje]

@TrakStR3000 well let me ask how long ago? And where? I'm over here in Austin Texas

[TrakStR3000]

@nepovjerenje idk... 10 years ago in GA

[nepovjerenje]

@TrakStR3000 LOL 10 years ago...

[TrakStR3000]

@nepovjerenje ahhh..... great point. -__-

[Revelation345]

I wish he was stronger with his right foot.

[hottie98t]

wow. okay i understand that he doesnt have blocks but thats not how you start even IF you have blocks.

[iMalakai]

DONT criticize him, hes just telling you guys what he knows, how are you going to blame someone for being wrong when they werent taught the right way, theres a difference from ignorance, and stupidity. its not his fault he may not know as much info. as the next guy.

[xSmo101x]

@BONBONG you don't need blocks to start a race 

[xSmo101x]

i would like to see you do that a track race and look dumb since thats not how you start...

[B0NB0NG]

@xSmo101x ya he doens't have any blocks so he cant show you how to start a track race

[bakerbrenon34]

Is he wearing pants?

[dthmon]

@bakerbrenon34 who cares....when your a beast you needs pants

[Vi3z]

rocket starter ftw

[HannaDaGnome]

yadee yadee yada

[Fireblade689]

even though he didnt have any blocks, he still should have taken the same position. no one uses a 3 point start.

[coalcoalcoal]

thank you for the tips village!!

I will use this info to help me succeed in my track relays :))))))))))))))))))))

When receiving the baton, should i receive with my palm facing up or down?

I know that i must receive with the opposite hand of the incoming runner.

[ldehart17]

you want your palm up and fingers wide make sure your hand is high enough up and steady so he can get the baton in it. Also make sure you pump your arms once or twice to get up to speed then put your hand back

[CLstarsTV]

u shuld get it with your hand high (about a straight line with your arm and shoulder) and basically you thumb should be down.

[sureeasy]

For all of you that are speaking about Track and Field this is a demo on how to run a 40 yard dash for football...duh

[Trackhabit25]

I have no doubt that the guy in the video can beat me in the 100m dash, but there is a difference between being fast and being able to coach or explain what you are doing. Let me know what you think I said that was incorrect. I'd be interested in your version of how the start should be taught.

Peace.

[albruce9131]

trackhabbit this guy is a usa runner stfu with your corrections

[BIGLIQUID]

Show us your video Trackhabit 25....

[Trackhabit25]

This is not anything like Track and Field:

1. Usually Trackies use a 4 point start (ie blocks)

2. His left leg is way too far forward. Ankles should be behind hips.

3. Not all athletes should use the stronger leg forward.

4. You don't pull with the front leg. Both legs push out of the blocks.

4. You can't demo a block start in slow-mo because you shouldn't be able to support yourself. IE if he was doing right, he would fall on his face during the slow demo.

[areawill]

I know, I have been running track for five years and I have never started like that. also, when you are starting you are not supposed to pop up right away.

[djsaigon92]

but like he said in the beginning "i have no blocks" plus u can use a 3 point stance in the blocks but it really doesnt help

u do pull with your weak leg bcuz your strong leg is pushing your body if it was the opposite then your not gonna have a good start

get your facts right

[jssemi]

you obviously failed in school or are failing because u clearly dont know how to listen i quote "I DONT HAVE ANY BLOCKS" so he compensates by using the 3 point stance

[kakler1]

@jssemi u do no that short distance dash has no blocks

so u use this technique

[jcllplaya97]

wow this guy knows what he is doing

[Kniddy]

This video is titled Starting Position in Track and Field.........WHO THE HELL STARTS IN A 3PT STANCE IN TRACK!?!?!

[danny941016]

[belingafred]

[bodycord]
