25 TIPS & DRILLS FOR COACHING HORIZONTAL JUMPS

With Mike Pullins
Featuring demonstrations by Jesse Williams

Coach Pullins shares his successful teaching tactics and tips in this DVD on coaching the horizontal jumps. Approach runs are a must for all jumpers and will allow the athlete to have jumping success. Pullins believes 16 to 20 steps is the aim early in the season for approach runs. He teaches to drive out on the first four steps to build speed on the approach. To develop a good approach, Pullins demonstrates a "push, pull, plant" technique that incorporates hurdles on the jump runway. First and second phase run off, standing landing drill, box step, small hop & big step, standing 4-step and the first & second phase long jump are all good drills for pre-season workouts. Each drill is slightly different and has a special skill focus. Advanced drills for experienced jumpers include single leg projection hops, step drill, straight line paw repeat, paw read push drill, alternating step, single leg hop and the strong/weak drills. Rhythm is crucial to the jump events and improvement comes from the rhythm run off drill. The walking extension drill uses hurdles and enhances flexibility, posture and a straight line push. As a bonus, Pullins demonstrates 22 additional drills using med balls, resistance bands, jump pads, boxes and hurdles to create the desired effect. The emphasis is on addressing conditioning, flexibility and proper posturing.

25 TIPS & DRILLS FOR COACHING POLE VAULT

With Pat Licari

In this comprehensive Tips & Drills DVD, Coach Licari presents 25 teaching tools for coaching the pole vault. Licari believes that a successful vault begins with proper pole carry and approach. The standing tip drop and the marching pole carry are excellent fundamental drills that are taught and demonstrated. The initial steps are developed with the mini hurdle pole run drill. Sled pulling conditions the athlete and works on the driving and pushing action. Licari next details the proper pole carry position by showing hand and shoulder position. He then shares the three-step plant and breaks down each step culminating in the pole at its highest position above the head. Planting the pole is taught through the marching plant drill followed by the three-step approach drill to execute a proper pole plant. Long jumping is part of the short pole drill with an emphasis on the leg action and the take off mechanics. Licari's "over the tip" exercise, assists the vaulter to accurately determine the position of the hands on the pole. Power comes from the chest drive and Licari shares several drills to increase strength when the pole is planted. The stall technique is used in drill work to emphasize high hands and chest drive. Using rings, the athlete works on the rock back motion and quarter turn. He finishes with horizontal vaults and the short run vault drills.

25 TIPS & DRILLS FOR COACHING THE DISCUS THROW

With Harlis Meaders

Coach Meaders breaks the discus throw down into four parts: the entry, heel-toe, catch position and the alley and shares the drills and tips that he uses with great effectiveness at FSU to reinforce each part. A simple line drill is demonstrated and is a crucial part of fundamental footwork. By using a board in the circle, Meaders exhibits the details of discus position and footwork in a 1-2-3 progression. Footwork and hand position on the discus allows maximum orbit distance. Discus placement means that the discus stays well behind the hip. A javelin drill is essential for hip turn throughout the throw. Another drill, the 2-3 Position Drill, moves the hips from a parallel to perpendicular position while the discus stays in the same position. Balance and discus position is the focus of the Softball Drop Drill. In addition, Meaders covered two throwing methods; the wide sweep and the run.

25 TIPS & DRILLS FOR COACHING THE HIGH JUMP

With Calvin Robinson

Utilizing demonstration from two world-class high jumpers, Coach Robinson shares tips and drills for coaching high jumping. The first tip is to utilize a well-organized training plan and proper conditioning as a base for success. Technically, Robinson believes the approach is the single most important aspect of championship high jumping. All positive outcomes hinge on a proper and powerful approach. Straight ahead running teaches good acceleration mechanics and a natural step bounce. Curve line runs and S runs are also crucial to the approach of the bar. A more difficult drill is the circle run, which teaches the inward lean and is done in both directions. Full approach jumps include several methods that are trial and error for each athlete. The "skip bounce for height" drill introduces blocking mechanics at take off and ground contact. Another teaching tool is the short run jump. These jumps allow the athlete to focus on proper body posture. Proper posture and acceleration through the take off are the focus. Robinson details bar clearance with a simple "double leg flops off the ground" drill. The same drill can be varied by using a box in front of the bar as athletes get accustomed to jumping high in the air from the box. Robinson concludes with his instruction on the full approach jump. Pulling it all together, Robinson concludes this information packed presentation with world-class demonstration of a dozen proper jumps that serve to pull together and illustrate all of the components of Coach Robinson's instruction.

25 TIPS & DRILLS FOR THE SPRINT EVENTS

With Mike Holloway

Long recognized as one of the top sprint coaches in the sport, Coach Holloway believes that the make-up of a successful sprinter must include the ingredients of power, flexibility, elasticity and the willingness to be a student of the event. Holloway strives to adapt those ideas to the training and competitive arena. Drills are done for endurance and to teach the body to do things in a proper way. The ground strike of the foot is the focus of these sprint drills. The dribble series involves five footwork drills in the warm-up mode. The start is a vital component that sets of the rhythm and flow of the sprint. Holloway uses an athlete to demonstrate the proper starting position and includes the common errors made when starting. The Race Model for the 100 m sprint is broken down into three areas: drive from the blocks, acceleration phase and the maintenance phase. Patience is the key to the drive phase, pushing to 30 m. For the 200 m race, Holloway teaches the sprinter how to attack the curve and reinforces the principles of running the straightaway. The 400 m sprint is broken down into five phases. Acceleration is the key to the first 30. Being aggressive - yet in control - is a key to the middle phases of this race. In the last phase, sprinters are taught to be calm and focus on the proper sprint movements. Race footage shows the breakdown of each of the fundamentals of 100 m, 200 m and 400 m sprints.

    ADVANCED METHODS FOR LACTATE THRESHOLD TRAINING

    With Marcus O'Sullivan

    In this presentation O'Sullivan delves deeply and precisely into a narrow and targeted focus for threshold training. He begins with a brief review of the basics of lactate training including the three energy systems used in training and their relationship to understanding how to streamline training around the "aerobic/anaerobic line." Through all of the physiological discussion, you will greatly benefit from O'Sullivan's unique knack of making the complexities of the science simple to grasp and understand. The overall goal of threshold training is to try to get the heart stronger allowing it to pump more blood, carry more oxygen, and do more work, and hence run faster. Through this methodology the athlete will run consistently faster and further throughout each season during the career of the athlete. The "advanced" aspect of the presentation is in its specificity with regard to training as it relates to an athlete's particular event. O'Sullivan includes sample workout sets that are event specific, with detailed outline on how to increase the production level of a threshold workout without adding to the volume. He deals with training each system as it fits with a season and a segment of the season. He also shares considerations for a long and short season and how competition fits into the training equation.

    BECOMING A CHAMPION LONG JUMPER - BEYOND THE BASICS!

    With Dennis Nobles

    Coach Nobles utilizes two former All-American athletes to demonstrate the finer points of the long jump. Nobles states that the long jump must be seen as a sprint event, and sprinting is a major part of an athlete's success. Thrust/weight ratio is another major part of the engineering of long jumpers. This means the athlete has a strong upper body with little excess weight. Distance is determined by velocity, angle and center of gravity at take off. Nobles points out the inverse relationship between velocity and angle as it pertains to the long jump. Topics such as starting point, depth perception, rhythm and the run are main parts of Nobles teaching. At the board, the importance of angle becomes second to velocity. The goal is to increase angle without slowing down. The hitch kick is a three-phase process for advanced jumpers. The heel and knee, switch and jump/switch/close feet are the three parts of this crucial long jumping skill. Nobles finishes in the weight room demonstrating the key lifts for long jump athletes. The warm-up and stretching activities are stressed by Nobles are essential parts of the entire long jump routine for success.

    BECOMING A CHAMPION TRIPLE JUMPER - BEYOND THE BASICS!

    With Dennis Nobles

    In this DVD, he utilizes the 2006 National Champion athlete to show athletes at all levels the finer points of the triple jump. Speed on the runway is the key to the triple jump, and the starting point for Nobles. The first step is the most variable and critical to the jump. Nobles encourages athletes to set a first step check mark to remain consistent with the initial step. Your runway spring is vital to how far you will jump and is a consistent emphasis by Nobles. When approaching the board, stability, balance and velocity are the major factors he teaches. Use of arms at takeoff can also determine your end result. The three distinct jumps are also seen as one individual entity. Instead of the hitch kick at the end, the hang technique is used. The hang is a way to slow the natural rotation of the body for maximum distance. Nobles also focuses on strength training, warm-up, and stretching exercises, all important to the jumper's ultimate success.

    PROGRESSIONS FOR TEACHING THE HAMMER THROW

    With Robert Weir

    Find the ideal technique for your hammer throwers.

    In this comprehensive instructional DVD, UK's National Throws coach and former world-class hammer thrower Robert Weir, shares with you a complete breakdown of the hammer throw.

    Following a quick and simple 7-exercise warm-up, Coach Weir breaks down the essential grip for the hammer, a vital element for injury free throwing. He next moves into Hammer Swings or "winds." This skill will help to determine the most natural high and low point for the individual thrower, and will assist you in determining the optimal point of initiating footwork for the turn.

    Hammer Turns is the next technical area of instruction. In this segment, Weir instructs the toe turn and the heel turn. For each technique Weir breaks down the double support phase and the single support phase and offers strategies to lengthen the double phase and shorten the single phase, which will maximize hammer acceleration.

    Weir shows you how to coach "relaxed shoulders" and demonstrates the problems that arise when a thrower's shoulders are pulled, or misaligned. He also analyzes the keys to an ideal release of the hammer and how to attain a peak angle for the release.

    You will also see five of the most common errors for the hammer throw. Weir then presents the best correction for each.

    The use of two experienced hammer throwers, each with varying styles greatly enhances the benefits of this DVD. One demonstrator utilizes a heel turn and three rotations and the other utilizes a toe turn with four rotations.

    These valuable insights will assist you in finding the technique that optimizes your throwers' individual styles.

    TRACK & FIELD COACH'S PLANNING GUIDE FOR SUCCESS: COACHING HURDLERS

    With Gary Winckler

    Coach Winckler applies his expertise to the area of program organization for your hurdlers. This process starts by identifying your training tasks and objectives. In a high school or middle school environment, Winckler believes it is important to identify groups of athletes that work well together. The training year consists of a general (4-8 weeks), specific (2-4 weeks) and competition phase (through the end of the season). General fitness, strength and endurance are the objectives of the general period. The specific preparation phase should focus on technique, speed and special endurance. Technical activities are performed when the athlete is fresh and learns at a higher level. Five segments of the workout session include the warm-up, technical aspects, power, strength and cool down. Winckler then takes the weekly training period and details each day of the week and the activities each day. Planning starts with training menus, which comprise all of the drills and exercises that will be used during the season. In addition, Winckler uses athletes to demonstrate the warm-up exercise program.

    TRACK & FIELD COACH'S PLANNING GUIDE FOR SUCCESS: COACHING JUMPERS

    With Jim VanHootegem

    Systematic training is an overall key to success for Coach VanHootegem. Benefits of developing a system are instilling a standard of performance through your system. This is a key tool for coaching and de-personalizes the criticism that athletes receive. Their performance is always compared to the standard of performance and not the coach's bias. Athletes will buy in to the system because it has been proven to be successful with past athletes. Past successes with this program enable current athletes to completely buy into the system.VanHootegen's multi-system approach also includes event training and commonality training. The yearly plan is divided into three periods: the general prep phase, specific prep phase and the championship phase. Each of these periods is broken down month-by-month and activity-by-activity. The off-season period is important because athletes need a physical and emotional break. Other areas presented include raining running cycles, the weekly plan, training template, warm-up exercises and rest and recovery. This DVD concludes with an impressive array of 60 different warm-up exercises for jumpers!

    TRACK & FIELD NEWS PRESENTS: TECHNIQUE & DRILLS FOR THE POLE VAULT

    With Rick Suhr

    Coach Suhr has developed a unique and successful style of vaulting demands that his vaulters jump a very disciplined and regimented style (he credits the adverse weather conditions in upstate NY and poor runways). He begins with five fundamental take-off drills. These drills are the foundation of Suhr's vaulters - regardless of ability. These drills start close to the mat and slowly work back along the runway. These drills help with grip, staying upright when approaching the bar and planting the pole. The next phase is a group of up-top drills. Short stick drills are used prior to a meet to develop good hand positioning and the 180o turn. Backward roll-extension develops upper body strength and allows the athlete to clear the head and chest. The pole, run, and carry drill teaches vaulters to run tall and plant the pole properly. Suhr highlights three phases of short run vaulting and illustrates each. Four National Champions, including 3x National Champion Jenn Stuczynski, provide the demonstrations for this incredible presentation.

    TRACK & FIELD NEWS PRESENTS: TECHNIQUE & DRILLS FOR THE ROTATIONAL SHOT PUT

    With Jim Aikens

    Beginning with the basics of throwing, three things affect the implement distance - height of release, angle of release and speed of release. The key elements are the speed of the release and the summation of forces, which uses big muscles before smaller muscles; leg muscles are the driving force in this technique. Aikens begins by demonstrating two stretches that should be used prior to throwing. He also includes other stretches to help the back, upper back, shoulders, hamstrings and buttocks. Aikens demonstrates the full body throw, emphasizing the arm and wrist flick. Aikens covers the difference between a rotational and glide thrower, and identifies why many throwers prefer the rotational throw. Aikens provides 14 drills, which includes drills specific to coming out of the back of the ring and transitioning from the back of the ring to the middle. Drills include hands on hips, double pivot, crunch, step through, South African, med ball throw, South African with shot, step around, unit turn, quarter turns, the 360o drill, and more!

    TRACK & FIELD NEWS PRESENTS: TECHNIQUE AND DRILLS FOR THE HURDLES

    With Andrew Blanks

    Proper training of hurdle racing is a must prior to competition. Coach Blanks discusses proper training, language and instruction to help prepare athletes to compete to their maximum potential. Hurdle walkover drills benefit the athlete by improving flexibility, mobility, agility, and hip rotation. The "over and back" drill shows that technique done forward can also be done backward. In addition, by adding a medicine ball to this drill athletes work on balance as well as technique. The challenging "over and under" drill includes a walk over followed by a movement under the next hurdle. This drill requires balance and flexibility. Additional drills are "quick walk-overs", "middle side drill", the "drop step drill" and the "side mirror drill". Blanks then takes his athletes through stretching exercises some of which to be done prior to the meet. For example, the "L sit", a three phase drill that stretches the hamstring and gluteus; and the inverted lunge which stretches the inner abductor. He illustrates the correct way to execute several exercises to avoid injury. Next, Blanks introduces the athletes to the "one step drill" which contributes to proper form and execution of running the 110 and 100 meter hurdles. He also shares his thoughts and drills regarding the 300 and 400 meter hurdles, which require a different mindset and technique.

    Watch as Bedard takes Malone through a series of standing throws. You will learn all the necessary sequencing of movements required to maximize power. Bedard allows you to see each throw through his technical eye, critiquing and correcting any technical deficiency that he observes.

    Moving to the pivot turn, or wheel, Bedard's emphasis is on continuous rotation and a relaxed upper body, with the bulk of the work of the turn taking place from the hips down. Malone demonstrates each aspect of the pivot turn and then executes a series of pivot throws, again with critical coaching from Bedard.

    A demonstration of the full throw begins with a step-by-step description of each phase. This technical progression includes entrance, posture, wind, entry step to the middle, pivot turn, through a non-reverse throw. Several full throws are demonstrated with breakdown analysis of each included. Bedard also breaks down the skill set needed to perform a reverse throw.

    Bedard coaches the throwers through 10 full-speed throws, from both a rear and side view, giving you a detailed breakdown of each. He also presents a problem solving segment that includes seven areas of the discus throw, detailing what the error looks like, sounds like, how to see it and how to resolve it.

    WORLD CLASS JAVELIN THROW

    With Tom Pukstys

    Legendary Javelin thrower Tom Pukstys shares the techniques, drills and strategies that made him the USA's top Javelin thrower for over a decade.

    Following a javelin specific 25+ exercise warm-up, Coach Pukstys breaks his intensive technique instruction into three areas: the power position that details body positioning from the ground up, body angles that are essential to throwing success, and the position and location of the javelin to maximize power for the throw.

    Pukstys emphasizes that the throw is not arm activated, but rather leg and hip activated. He underscores the need for the athlete to feel the separation of the lower and upper body on the throw. Pukstys teaches the release technique of the throw that requires pro-nation with the thumb turning inside.

    Next in the skill progression is the standing throw. In this segment, Pukstys and Hazle focus on a sequence of ground contact, hip, chest and the arm with pro-nation on the follow through.

    Pukstys progresses into movement for the throw. Beginning with a one-step throw and progressing to a three-step throw that adds momentum and pressure along with incorporating the penultimate or impulse step. Pukstys and Hazle discuss the technical aspects of the wrap, a more advanced technique that takes the thrower from a more linear position to a more rotated position.

    You will also see how to set up a successful throwing practice as Pukstys details three throwing workout days: target practice, medium throwing and hard throwing. Pukstys and Hazle move to the weight room where Hazle demonstrates seven javelin specific training exercises that focus on developing explosive elastic power and overall athleticism.

    In addition, Pukstys and Hazle share a breakdown of meet footage that pulls together all aspects of the javelin throw presented into an actual event.

    Throughout the presentation, Pukstys interacts with Hazle by coaching him and seeking feedback from him. This interaction adds a unique perspective for the viewer, garnering both a coach and athlete perspective on the event. Hazle's quest for perfection exudes throughout the presentation and offers a positive example for young athletes in seeing an Olympic level thrower constantly striving to improve.
