alright what's up everyone wanted to make this video for you to explain what does it mean to
stay in your drive phase for a longer period of time I was doing some research this morning
I really wanted to be able to better connect to you with what I think the most important thing
to understand what is the drive phase will help us in understanding how to say through the drive
phase longer and why it's important is because as we're going into the top-end speed right so you
know we basically put it into three different categories and sprinting there's you know the
start phase there's the drive phase and then there's the top-end speed things okay and in
order for us to truly maximize that top-end speed phase we have to be able to really have a stall
the drive phase should be able to maintain that over a good amount of steps really I
think if you can get to a drive phase if you're silly a drive phase between 18 to 20 steps then
you really maximize your ability to I'm gonna go through that that dry and it depends on the
sprint right so this is more for a hundred meters when we're talking about like a four D it's gonna
be closer to like 12 to 15 steps of really being able to maximize that drive but you want to get to
that that happened to be faster but it's different types of athletes somebody's running a 100 meter
it's not the same type of athlete that's really trying to maximize the 40 we're getting back to
the drive phase what we're kind of looking at you can see you know that did a lot of research
it along the numbers here and essentially what I was trying to find was okay when were first
starting off what type of transition phase are we getting into and you can see that these numbers
are very very low right so this is a really like just pushing off the blocks with your transition
phase is how much time does it take and then also then the contact on is a lot of hiring
so what happens is that though as we get closer to so these steps are important the 13-14 steps
those ones are actually very very similar to think this was said 24 and step 25 where we're
down in here and so once United's percent thirty fourteen with those were actually very close to
the same as when we were in the top entry face so now what becomes the the big question becomes
what is the difference what is the difference between when we're really able to you know but
if the contact in transition time is the same on the 13-14 step then once we get to our top bench
P phase or typing speed running now what are the what are the numbers there what are the details
between the what's the separation between the two and and what I found or what it looks like
it's just the angle of the spine when the back leg is pressing off okay so you know the back leg is
going to be back here and coming off the ground and when it's coming off the ground here in the
top-end speed face your your angle between your hip or sorry or your up leg or opposite leg and
your spine is closer to about 85 to 90 degrees depending on the sprinter and then when we're in
the drive phase we're still in like a 45 degree to 80 degree angle within the spine okay so and
and how we can improve that right the whole idea of this video is what does it mean to say you're
driving longer or how can we say dry phase longer is to put a big focus on you know they talk about
this in yoga when you're coming up right here you're going to you're touching your toes and
you're coming up and as you're coming up you want to think about each one of your vertebrae
slowly coming up and into extension and it's the same thing we're talking about really being able
to say to your drive page what happens with the live sprinters is as they get going they get to
a position where they're like okay I'm going to just pop up and get into my top and speed right
and what happens there is then you you move you lose anywhere between three to eight steps of
Drive and now you end up hitting a plateau with in your top-end speed but if you stay in that dry
phase and you're continuing to slowly give each one of your vertebrae up now you're going to be
able to maintain the drive phase and when you get into your top-end speed you're gonna be able to
continue to look into new bill so now you're you have to just hold your top-end speed for you know
it's 100 meter dash now you only have to hold your top-end speed for maybe 40 to 45 meters and
could even be less depending on you know exactly how long it takes you to or how well you're able
to build up even within your top-end speed but a lot of times you tend to both having to hold
your conference be for only forty to forty-five meters where if you pop up out of your Drive face
you could end up having to hold your your top-end speed to closer to 65 to 260 meters maybe even
seven meters depending on how fast you pop up and it's very difficult to be able to hold that
top-end speed you know we talked about some of the numbers where it's like okay we could break down
the your ability to hold your top-end speed and go down into each hundredth of a second improve
your transition time or improve your contact time but that is something that's easy to say it's not
necessarily easily done you have to in order to really maximize your top-end speed finish
and make improvements on each 20 or hundredths you want to be able to maintain that drive phase
you need to maintain that start phase okay so we want to you know we've been talking a lot a lot a
lot about how we can maximize from a top-end speed perspective and what that's gonna what that looks
like and so what I thought would be important is to give a little bit more focus into that drive
phase and how maximizing that phase of the run would actually look like so you still throw that
out there I just want you guys to know for this week we're offering a free 7-day trial with our
speed program really trying to make it so we can get people going within it you get a breakdown
you get access to to work out some drills things that you can do from a that's printed perspective
whether it's a forty hundred two hundred four hundred you know all those when you're ready
playing baseball playing soccer we have a lot of different flexibilities that we do within our
program really trying to provide as much value as it can will give you a lot of data in terms of you
know what you can do from a number of perspectives and we just had tremendous tremendous results in
tremendous feedback based off the information that people got even within our free breakdown
so did you if you have any interest in any of that type of stuff let us know you could send us
a link saying I'm interested in the 7-day program we'll send you over a wait to get started or you
just click the link in our bio looking forward to work with you guys and we'll see you soon
when watching this video I hope you really enjoyed it if you did you could subscribe
down below and that way you get updates on any of the new videos that we get also if you want
you can check out some of our other breakdowns for speed and throwing you have exercises also
jumping mechanics videos a lot of great stuff within our channel hope you enjoy
