notice you know how he's crowned the line with that front leg you know one of the things i've
noticed a lot with this year is that that back leg has ended up being a little bit further back for
a lot of people and so you know i could i'd say that if you're struggling with getting that that
back leg through here um it could be a good could be a thing to kind of uh work with either bringing
the leg forward bring the leg back it is something that you could definitely adjust the big thing
though is you want to make sure to keep that heel up as you're going and then from here it's really
big knee that front knee needs to drop a good amount and then from there you really want to push
off and extend and get that triple extension there because now you're going to be able to pick up
more overall distance on that first step and not just say that that first step is about distance
i'm big on that first step really needs to be about quickness but when you're able to get that
that foot down in front of you and pick up some distance it really helps you out and so you could
see that and it's pretty average to get about a yard on that first step keeping that heel fairly
high up and and really being able to maximize that triple extension also maintain that nice long
spine so you really don't want to end up being too rounded in your spine as you're starting off
with that those first like three to five steps you need to be able to keep extension but still keep
your head out and over your knees so you don't want to end up you know when you're rounding
your back a lot of times your your head will be even with your knee instead of your head out in
front of your knee which is a good indication that you're able to or that you're doing a good job of
expanding your stein and also keeping your um you know head down and and spine a good position now
from there it's really about being able to get that that really nice push off and keeping those
feet low see how good he's doing at keeping those feet nice and low that's really good in being able
to optimize each one of your steps and picking up as much distance as you can because when you're
when you're talking about these first steps you really got to be able to make sure that you're
able to get to that first tent as as fast you can so here that steps number four right there here's
step number five he's starting to slowly come up now you can see that here's step number six
and now we're getting into step number seven and he hits that step number seven right at 1.64 one
of the big things we talk about is that you got to be under one seven at that that first ten
um in your sprint or else you're gonna end up impacting your you know ability to get to that
that uh sub four five so this is all with the mentality of being able to get to four five and
under you know for a lot of people that you're in in high school you know if you were able to run
four or five you're going to get a lot more notice overall from like a recruiting perspective and so
you know i'd love to be able to set you up to be able to do that even you know running 4647
you're going to be one of the faster kids in you know the area um and probably on your team
by being able to get those types of numbers but it's a very technical race here at the 40. so
some of these guys that you know are running four threes they've been working on it for a
long time so i'd say don't get too discouraged if you run a four six four seven uh because i
would even say that that javarius davis probably before he started getting training was probably
in that four six four seven range and was able to work down two or four three so now we're going to
get into step eight step nine now you could really see him lengthening each one of his strides so
now he's he's his spine is much more upright and he's really getting extension with that leg out in
front so what ends up happening is that as you get going now you start to be able to reach and get
that foot out in front of the knee and when you start getting that foot out in front of the knee
now you can create this pull down as you're going through each one of these steps which makes it so
then your overall efficiency and really power development is happening with your foot out
in front of you so he's actually generating force when to be able to push off with right
now right as soon as he passes here boom this from here on out all of that force that he's
generating is helping him and being able to push off the ground later because look he's
already pulling back so now by the time his foot hits the ground he's already creating momentum
to be able to push off right away when his foot gets on on the ground but is still
able to maintain the same level of efficiency with each one of the steps and now you can see
you know five eight he's still you know he hit in 20 and about a half on that 12 steps which
is huge right and he's at 272 right now and i would say that he even passed it even earlier
you know he was probably you know two six five maybe which is amazing that's why he was able to
run such a fast 40. i mean you got to be under 275 in order to again get to that that uh four
or five mark all right so he's at 265. you know now he's really opening himself up and then and
big thing here is just trying not to allow that heel to get too high so now that you're opening
up and really pushing off what's going to happen your heel is going to snap back and your heel is
going to want to get really high up and behind you you want to be able to maintain your spine a
little bit more upright i'd say that he you know starts leaning forward let that chin come out a
little bit too far out in front of him there could be could work on that a little bit but you know
he's also letting that foot get a little bit too high and i mean these are by by centimeters the
left one he actually does a pretty good job of not letting it get too high it's just the right one
you can see you know as soon as he's pushing off he's he's bending that knee right behind him
and as he's bending that knee you want to be driving it through what i see a lot of times
is that people end up getting that foot stuck back behind them right right here right this back foot
you don't want to let it get stuck back too far behind you as soon as you you push off you want
to start bending this back knee and driving that foot underneath you so now you have plenty of time
and plenty of height with that foot so when you're driving your foot up all the way through now you
can you have plenty of distance to be able to pull that foot underneath you which makes it so you're
going to be able to you know maximize the run and this was going to be the 19th step 20 steps 20 and
a half steps at 5 8 is absolutely absurd because he's absolutely moving too you know and he got a
4-4 here i think the next one he ended up getting a 4-3-9 or and and i think his official end up
being a be eight and so you know absolutely killed it from a 40 perspective especially being five
foot eight i mean that's unbelievable just because naturally you know don't have as long of legs and
so being able to generate that much speed and also be that efficient with the stride is absolutely
you know kudos to him and you know what what he was able to do in preparation for the 40 i hope
that ends up really making a a big difference in him getting drafted and going in the nfl but
um you know just want to give you guys some information on how he was able to get that done
