what's up everyone morey croson in here from the performance lab of California and we got
another speed breakdown here today on sachin deadness I wanted me I want to hope I said
that right sachin dennis is a surgeries of the fastest fourteen-year-old in the world
definitely intriguing guy to see he has a very interesting spine angle as he's running here
so and really is able to accelerate faster than than anybody that really seen before and at least
included in comparison to the other guys that he's competing against I mean you can see here
he don't he follows a lot of the same premises a week we'll talk about it gets that first leg down
he brings that knee inside as he starts there does a good job bringing that right leg kind of
straight through left leg he'd be a good little left leg step here as he brings the right leg
out to the side and I was able to really push and gain some ground there with that left leg
I mean keeps a very very low spine angle there throughout throughout the sprint so he's really
bent over there in the spine and then he also gets a lot of extension there in the shoulder
notice how straight that arm gets and how far back I he brings out our back he he must do a
really good job getting my activation as he's going there and he also as he's running as he's
driving his leg up he also kind of flexes his core notice how he does that there flex right
there at the core and then comes back up and then flex with the core then comes back up so
he's using that Ted I mean obviously the core something that helps you create some more power
create some more stabilization so it looks like that's what he uses there he stays in that that
pocket for a much longer period of time than the most athletes do and then he's all hip flexors
notice how he barely to even gets his accession on the right one here look at how he drives that
leg up I mean he doesn't even get that heel up to his butt he's all driving that leg out extending
pulling back driving that leg up extending the knee pull it back and he doesn't even I mean that
the cycle is there but it's very very minimal so you looking on this left leg on this one where he
doesn't even get that heel all the way up to the butt he just gets right through that cyclers right
through the that pushing of the leg off the ground the toe off phase and drives that leg up extends
out look how good of an extension he gets so Foom extends all the way out pulls back extends all the
way out and pulls back and what he does you know when he when he touches the ground he does a good
job of keeping most of his weight and and this is kind of an interesting thing that he does here is
most of his weight is actually kind of behind him and then he's also flexing in those pecs to make
it so he's nice and light when when he lands and he just doesn't spend very much time pushing off
and letting that leg get back behind him right he can go compare them to probably these guys
here notice how this guy's really pushing off when he's tilling off and he lets that foot get
way back behind him there before he begins that cycle through the same thing with this guy here
and the FIR boy he's going really letting that leg you know push off and get back behind him
then notice how little time sachin does that there when he pushes off and he's old gets it right back
to the heel to the butt so he does a very very effective job of getting really good turnover
and really being able to maximize his extension so he doesn't really have very long steps he's very
very short there he's just very very fast and very very effective with each one of his steps I'm and
again he I mean he just maximizes knee extension and pulling that leg back I mean the more you see
it the more you see these guys do it I mean it just shows how important it is to be able to get
that leg out in front and then being able to pull back from there and I mean once he gets going he's
able to get into a good spine position there he's kind of limited as well in how he brings the the
arms forward doesn't seem like he puts a lot into bringing the arm forward but it's very heavy on
bringing the arms back okay so he's definitely I'm concentrating on certain parts of of the of the
actual sprint here so you know like I said he's really really heavy on bringing the a forward and
really driving with that knee getting that really top-level hip flexion I mean he's also very heavy
on bringing the legs we're sorry bringing the arms back and using those latchees in that extension
which you know both of those make sense you got to be able to maximize your extension as you're
going back with your arm as well as you got to be able to maximize your ability to utilize those
hip flexors so I mean we'll do that and really you know another big part of it as well comes from the
stabilization of the core and the stabilization of the ankles I mean if you don't have those those
things and intact and then then the nothing else matters so you know that is definitely priority
you have to be able to stabilize all this through those ankle joints and also be able to maximize
the extension within the within the shoulder so so yeah I mean that's that's that social Dennis
for you so definitely a interesting interesting breakdown interest entering sprinter not typical
form that we see but so somebody that you know he's the fastest 14 year old in the world so
he's doing some stuff right that I didn't do the the breakdown got some recommendations as
always if you guys are more interested in this go ahead and check out our everything you need
to know to run faster e-book definitely packed with information talks a lot about the foot
talks about a lot about the lower body also goes into depth about how you can better utilize your
core in your arms in order to back saw maximize your sprint so I try to go into different areas
that most people do not really focus on another thing is check out our 12-week speed program
speed mechanics really program because you feel this is a huge on mechanics at performance lab
of California sending videos we do the same type of breakdown you need more information
on how you can run faster what are gonna be the techniques techniques to get there and and yeah
I mean let's just keep on getting better guys if you have any questions reach out to me my
email is morey@yourperformancelab.com thanks and I'll talk to you soon
