The "A March" DrillIn this Part 3 - I want to focus on the "A March" Drill. The primary benefits of the "A March" drill as well as the "A Skip, A Run and Partner Assisted March" Drills is not just for training the athlete in technique and reprogramming the athlete's neuromuscular system, but the 4 drills are excellent posture drills, specific strength drills and functional flexibility drills.

I am not sure how the principle of "Stepping over the opposite knee and driving down beneath the hips" became a major part of my training and a fundamental component to my entire speed training program. I know that the same concept was admonished during my USA Track Field Coaching School and also from many other industry greats. Many tapes, books and articles in my personal library admonish this

"Sprinting is a faultless, perfected series of finely tuned technical and motor coordinated skills. Speed begins and must be perfected in the motor unit.

It has been raining non-stop! We have had more snow in the last 2 weeks than we have received in the last 3 years. This weather is great for my kids who smiled all the way to the bank as they got snow days away from school and spent countless hours making snowmen, drinking hot chocolate and making the coolest jumps for their sledding courses, however it wasn't so great for our high school track
