hey everyone thanks for tuning into the performance lab don't forget to
subscribe below to the right for updates to new videos and a huge announcement coming up enjoy
what's up everyone morey croson here from the performance lab California and we have a new
breakdown for you today on Deion Sanders you know Sanders was about six-one during his playing times
about 195 and so with that being said I haven't really done the breakdown yet of these guys as
numbers a lot of times I like to do during the actual breakdown but we're looking at a lot of
the top runners you know their their transition time spend off time spend off the grounds about
0.3 1 maybe 0.33 overall and their overall contact time spent on the ground is about 0.1
2.13 so we're gonna get a look to see how Deion Sanders and really good understanding of why was
Deion Sanders so fast obviously this is gonna be at the top-end speed that we're gonna be talking
about so you know we want to get him going a little bit but I mean just notice - the reason
I'm doing this breakdown is because overall when I was just watching this video of Deion Sanders
highlights and how well he's able to really run as an overall athlete and while watching
it really made me think like man you know I don't know if there's anybody that does a better job of
pushing out that his back leg and really getting his legs out in front of them as as Deion Sanders
really has the ability to do so where we really want to be able to get get the video is once
he's getting into his his top speed will go here as he's getting going here during during these
steps so let's go this step would start here let's just see where it where he's at so first
of all he's gonna end up touching the ground here at about 1901 actually binds with closure in 1903
and he's off the ground at like nineteen one 519 oh three whoops to 1905 so that's about a sorry
one five it's about a point one two contact time there and then the transition time so the time he
spent off the ground from point one five to when he touches the ground again was about point four
six nineteen point four six so that's about a point three one contact time the reason I say
about it just because obviously with the video is hard to get a perfect number here and the
big thing that you know when watching this where we really want to be able to show the abilities
of Deion Sanders is really again that ability to not allow his weight to go too far forward
before he pushes off that back leg right he's really quick he puts a huge emphasis on driving
those legs forward as he's running and that's what really makes him the have the speed that
he's able to have and and I think you know part of the reason why I did that was he had all the high
stepping that he did all the time but you know be able to get another view here at least gets going
boom 3178 31.9 one
32:25 yeah so he's out about a you know add another nine on here 0.34 so really is his contact
time about point one three and his transition time it aren't at a huge amount you know his numbers
aren't like oh wow those are tremendous I mean he did just catch the ball but it's just his ability
to look at how fast he's able to as he transitions off be able to drive that knee forward as quickly
as you can while maintaining that that's fine angle right he has just the supernatural run
see how he he and not like a supernatural like not natural like very very natural very you know
supernatural notice how as soon as his foot you know this is such a big thing right as soon as
your foot crosses your hips you want to be able to press off because now you could drive that knee up
look at how well he's able to get his legs out in front of them and now from here you know he
has that nice angle so now he could really extend out see how you get gets that full extension and
then from that full extension now he drives that leg underneath them and that's what Mesa so we
can get such a fast carryover what Mesa so he has that great transition speed a lot of times
what happens you can even see with this like this lineman right here see how far back his feet get
behind him as he's trying to run that Mesa so now he can't lift up his knees nearly as high
and and really from there he can't straighten out to Laettner as well right Deion Sanders naturally
was able to get that knee so far up then how he could straighten his leg and he actually would
run with his legs basically straight once he started to get going with the showboating and
everything like that and that's what makes it made it so he was so fast is that he had that ability
to really get his legs out in front I don't know if I you know what else I saw that I I called my
friend and just told him like man I think Deion Sanders about everybody might have just the most
natural running form that I've seen and that he he just spends so much too more time with his
foot and more in front of him when he's running in comparison to his foot more behind him and I
think if you to watch this video and yet that main concept and why Deion Sanders was so fast
it's because he spent so much time more time with foot in front in comparison to
foot behind people get so caught up with creating force off the ground that they spend so much time
with their legs behind them when they're running when really it's about how fast could you get your
leg out in front of you right if you couldn't I've said this in a lot of videos but you could
really do this and look to see how Deion Sanders does it right I just wanted to make a video that's
a little bit more for like more of a football audience it that's what what the carryover is
and he does a great job tuning and having that natural Bend that forward lean in the spine and
then as he gets going he kind of strains himself back out right he has a very natural acceleration
pattern there where he's bent over to going straight up and now he's just taking off but
the bigger thing is really just that how well he can get those knees up and pull back and so
if you guys can understand how to implement that not only from a track setting right because when
you're running in a straight line of 40 something like that it's a lot easier than when you're on
the football field and that's why Deion Sanders everybody talks about how Deion Sanders had the
best football speed ever and it's because he was able to naturally transfer it over from when he
was running a 40-yard dash to something like that to on the field so when he was on the field he was
just running by everybody all the time because his people were in front of them all the time
all right see I mean we want to always continue to give you guys more information about the run
the sprint how you can improve the running the sprint if you have any questions where you want
us to break it down I think I think that's where we can give you guys overall the most value is in
the break downs right I mean the speed program is great and I a hundred percent would stand
behind what we're doing with the speed program but if you guys are watching this and wanting to
get more information about your individual run I would say getting a break down and and really
understanding really connecting to what you need to work on is going to be huge really taking your
game to the next level so yeah hopefully you guys take action on that and and hopefully we
can we can help you out and hear from you very very soon all right let me know if you guys have
any questions and we'll talk soon for watching this video I hope you really enjoyed it and if
you did you could subscribe down below and that way you can get updates on any of the new videos
that we get also if you want to check out some of our other breakdowns for speed and throwing you
have exercises also jumping mechanics videos a lot of crazy stuff within our channel hope you enjoy
