hey what's up everyone morey croson here and today we're going to be going over how to open
up when you're sprinting i was going through instagram today and really saw time after time
athletes that were not able to open up whether it was in football or in baseball or in overall track
and so i wanted to make a video today to really be able to focus and give you a clear understanding
of what it means to be able to open up for one and also how to be able to open up so as always
if you like the information go ahead and click that thumbs up down below subscribe channel if
you haven't already and if you have any questions comments or recommendations go ahead and leave
those down below we're gonna hop in the video right now all right so first thing i wanted to be
able to do here is just show you the example that i think is going to be best for you to be able to
implement the you know ability to maximize front side mechanics which is really what happens when
you're not able to open up is you're not maximizing your front side mechanics and
a lot of you guys are actually able to you know have a pretty efficient backside mechanics and
how you're pushing off but the issue is the timing of it and where the force is going so when you're
pushing off that back leg you really want to be able to get that heel all the way up
have that toe range of motion to be able to be very vertical so now as your your front foot is
going and touching the ground your your back leg ends up being really close to your body so if you
have your foot too far up or too far back that's going to make it so now when your foot touches
the ground you're going to end up having to come a lot more straight down with your your foot rather
than going more horizontal or fully back with the foot and so that ends up being a very big
uh difference between the ability to open up when you're sprinting in comparison to not being able
to open up so you can see as i'm touching the ground that other leg is coming through and as
the knees driving up the foot is able to get out in front to now be able to extend as i'm pulling
down right so this ends up being the critical part of the front side mechanics to be able to
open up when you're sprinting and i had this same issue that a lot of you guys had where i was just
all backstab mechanics not very much at frontside mechanics and from a timing perspective you know
what it looks like is a lot of you know people are over 0.3 but let's say it's a 0.3 timing with
your foot off the ground that would mean that point one of the time would be with your front
stomach hands and point two would be in backstab mechanics but they want to be reversed you want to
have point two and front side mechanics and point one and and backside mechanics and that's how you
maximize your turnover that's how you become a high level sprinter you know that's what like
tyson gay has in in for instance in terms of his ability to really turn over quickly and so now i
want to show you guys a comparison video of an athlete that came in you know a few months ago
and just his overall progression over the last few months i uh asked him to be able to do like
a testimonial for me and he was like dude just show your show me when i was first starting off
in comparison to where i am now right and so we're going to look at him sprinting and you can see you
know just not very much control still pushing off with a good amount of extension at the back leg
right but look at the difference in the posture right and how upright he is now and his ability
to really push himself vertically in comparison horizontally where his foot's touching the ground
going straight down in comparison to the foot coming down and pulling back right and this is the
difference between running i think like 14 miles an hour in comparison to um over 18 like 18.6 or
something like that miles an hour so really a big difference in overall performance right because
he's able to understand how to open up and this isn't something that happened over night this is
something that over a period of time developing the core developing hamstring strength developing
the toe range of motion the calf strength all the things that come into it ended up showing
itself and the ability to open up the sprinting by being able to dedicate themselves to the mechanics
and that's something that i'm really passionate about guys is that it's not about creating another
fancy exercise to be able to help you in being able to improve your speed i see it all the time
people are trying to you know get all fancy with it when really the sprint is a simple thing to be
able to understand you have to be able to identify the weakness within the sprint and then be able
to train that effectively to be able to make this type of a change so it's not about you know having
a great speed exercise or speed programming or working with any type of crazy coach even it
just is about being able to understand where are some of the issues in your sprinting mechanics and
how to be able to make the changes to be able to maximize that now you know i do help you in being
able to understand where is the big discrepancy between a usain bolt tyson gay um you know
asafa powell whoever ends up being your body type trayvon bromell in comparison to or john ross even
in comparison to where you want to be you know so you want to be able to really isolate the
start you want to isolate the acceleration and you want to be able to isolate the top end speed
and understand how to utilize each one of those phases correctly i want to say 90 of people that
aren't able to get to like a sub four or five are just not optimizing that drive phase to allow them
to get into the top end speed that their body is actually able to create i have a big passion about
you know yours you have the right amount of strength you have the right amount of power
you just don't know how to actually apply all that you have within your body to your top end speed or
to your 40 or 60 or 100 whatever the case may be so being able to understand your body mechanics
and where some of the weaknesses are within your performance and then being able to apply it to
your sprinting will be the most important thing to be able to help you run faster so
that makes sense to you check out the description down below check out some of the programs i'm
really passionate about being able to help you understand this give you a program to be able
to actually help you through it and i i'm also giving you a risk-free option here right so if you
go through it and for whatever reason you're like hey this is not for me 100 money back guaranteed
so you're not taking any risk if if this doesn't work then i'll give you your money back but for
the vast majority of you that are watching it's going to work you just got to take the action
i can understand where there's some there could be some degree of difficulty in it right you might be
a little bit feeling like oh man this is you know could be a lot of money for you i don't
want to take this risk take a risk a lot of you don't even take one risk take a risk on this i'm
gonna give you your money back if it doesn't work i really hope that you decide to do it
if this ends up being a video that connects with you talk to you guys soon and thanks for watching
