Sprinting Technique | How to Perform Standing Starts (aka 2 Point Starts)

Показать описание

Learn how to sprint faster with proper standing starts aka 2 point starts. Brent Salazar (NFL/USTA strength and conditioning coach) teaches how to boost your speed and power with optimal technique and set up. Athlete demonstrator Reshard Langford (former NFL Safety).
When it comes to speed development, dialing in your start is critical. If you're a track and field athlete that races out of the blocks, understanding how to perform a proper standing start is still important. This is because the typical sprinter can only get about 8-10 good block starts during a practice session before fatigue sets in and technique starts to diminish. So developing proper 2,3 and 4 point starts are a key component of training.
Most athletes perform all of their accelerations from a quarter squat/standing start position. Whether you're a football or soccer player that needs acceleration and speed to get to the ball, a baseball player running from first or a basketball player taking off on a fast break, powerful and quick standing starts are essential. Great athletes have great standing starts.
In this video you'll learn the proper setup and foot position, upper and lower body technique as well as practice tips and complimentary training ideas.

Thanks for this! I just competed at the TX Sr games (50, 100, 200 & 400m) - did pretty well for using a standing start that took at least a second or 2 just to get off the line! I don't have the resources to train with blocks, so I'll definitely be trying this method!
(last time i used blocks was 43 years and 25 lbs ago!!)

Thanks for this! I found it really useful. A quick question. Which gives you the greater advantage in terms of your finishing time - out of the blocks or standing start like the one demonstrated? I can see advantages and disadvantages in both. But I'm fairly new to the technical aspects of sprinting, so that might seem like a silly and naive query.
