Warm Up

Begin with a variety of dynamic warm up drills that are designed to help hurdlers prepare for highly demanding sessions on the track. Lawrence Johnson shows his 800 meter dynamic warm up series, consisting of skips, jogging, and strides that are designed to help hurdlers and sprinters prepare for high speed work. Also in this segment, coaches Nat Page, Andrew Blanks, and Kim Carson take you through a variety of hurdle specific static and moving stretches, designed to help improve flexibility and range of motion in athletes.

Hurdle Mobility Progressions

Coaches Gary Winckler, Ken Harden, and Joey Woody lead athletes through a variety of hurdle mobility drills, including Coach Winckler's resisted trail leg and arm drill. In this exercise, an athlete executes a standing trail leg drill with a resistance band around their foot and arm to increase difficulty, which works on mobility and coordination. Additionally, Coach Woody takes athletes through a variety of hurdle walkover drills to improve balance, coordination, and technical skill rehearsal.

Advanced Hurdle Movement

In this segment, Coach Carson begins to put all of the skills from earlier in the video together. She uses a variety of one and three step drills to help athletes improve their technique both over the hurdle and attacking the ground in between. Carson breaks down each drill in detail, while also pointing out common errors that athletes make in the event, along with ways to identify and correct them within the drill.

In addition to the segments listed above, Coach Johnson's segment on improving starting technique provides some great drills, such as the medicine ball start drill in which athletes jump into a throw, falling onto a high jump mat in order to teach ballistic force production. This drill is a great way to teach athletes to push against the ground and produce large amounts of force.

Packed with nearly two hours of drills and instruction, this video is a great addition to any hurdle coach's library. The overlapping segments, featuring a variety of top flight coaches, will enable you to gain different perspectives on drills that will further increase your understanding of the nuances of the event.
