Want faster sprinters? Focus on this.

Posted by Latif Thomas



Yesterday at practice I had my assistant coach lead the group of 100+ kids while I did some talent identification.

Since it was about 30 degrees out and snowing, we weren’t exactly running fly 30s. So what was I looking for to determine who had innate athletic ability?

This one skill.

To your success,

P.S. It’s official. This summer I’ll be running a sprints/hurdles clinic with ‘Building the Perfect 100m Sprinter’ creator Marc Mangiacotti. Athletes AND coaches are invited to attend. Click here for dates and location.
