One Motion

HURDLING is one smooth, contiguous, clean motion.From entering the cut step to exiting the getaway step.Visible segmentation means the athlete is doing the wrong things.

Coach notes
  • The movement has elements that can be isolated for understanding. Coaching and execution return them to the single motion.
  • HURDLING is written in capitals as a Stay Dangerous concept.
  • This is stated for elite hurdling, not beginners.

The Toe Takes Care of Itself

Asked when the toe should turn forward, the founder answered: "Never, if avoidable."As soon as the trail heel clears, push it down.Any forward turn of the foot happens on its own.

Coach notes
  • Enough airborne time to arrange the foot forward on purpose is a sign the athlete stayed in flight too long. The founder's statement that this would mean more than half a second in the air is his assertion, pending measurement.
  • In small drills the foot may strike while still pointing to the side.
  • This is elite hurdling, not beginner hurdling.
