#fastfeetfriday coming in hot with a top speed drill we’ve been using to prime top speed mechanics 🏎️🔥 Wickets can be a super versatile tool if you know how you want to use them and when in your session you want to use them. Typically, we have been using wickets as a teaching tool for athletes to feel upright sprint mechanics and fast recovery of their swing leg. A lot of our field athletes get stuck backside during their sprints, and in order to be successful here you need to be able to recover that leg quickly and efficiently to get to your next step. When putting them before timing top speed, we typically set the wickets up to have the athlete run at 80-90% speed and just feel smooth strides before going all out in the lasers. It can also be used in return to sport scenarios when the athlete needs to re-learn stride mechanics and sprint safely. #speeddevelopment #wicketruns #maxvelocity
