@BTB96Hobitz That's a legit idea as well. The important thing is force production in the early steps. Most athletes we deal with under-stride in the early strides, so this is a good way to cure that. We'll have other vids coming that show how to use the technique you're describing as well.
I hear you man, I just notice lots of BS online everyone is Mr Speed Coach when I know that very few actually have ever taken a real sprint or two themselves. So hey I might be wrong but I'd like to see that 4.5
@MicahLeviClark Something else funny. In the video we shot for this piece, he ran something like a 5.2, so you had it right on...we had to cue him to start poorly. One of our guys, a RB/LB from our local football powerhouse, just put up a 4.45 on turf, but he's a bit of a freak! We're more interested in long-term athletic development than the "4 week 40" crap. Keep at it and coach well!
@MicahLeviClark Funny...really...kid went to the NUC and blew up a 4.5 on turf. I've seen your comments elsewhere...if you really want to be apart of the sports performance community, you might want to learn to be positive and pro-active. I realize that takes more energy than being a smartass, but you should give it a try.

i have always been told to start with short quick strides and then make longer and longer strides with the same pace?

thats true, the first stride is huge for a good time.

You're right. That's the point of the video.
Even with a poor first step position, simply changing the target of the first step brings down the overall time.
Asking the athlete to increase first step stride length results in a more explosive start, regardless of start position.
You are the first person to notice that and comment on it. Way to go!

that's not the proper start to an optimum 40
