Speed, and getting her feet under her hips is the priority for this finale year.

Most of the reps in this clip are not perfect. This is normal.

We froze the frames where he found his optimal movement patterns, the ones that fit his body. We all have to swing our arms to run, and we all put our own fingerprint on how we move.

That fingerprint is what feels right to you mixed with what you have been exposed to. More often than not, you were never taught these patterns. What you are doing is your imitation of what you think the right movement looks like.

Question: Who taught you how to swing your arms when you run?

For the few of you who had someone coach you through it, what did they teach you to do? Were you ever exposed to any different methods?

Two decades of doing this let me get it wrong plenty of times, and I evolved along the way. Working with athletes across ages, sports, backgrounds, and upbringings is where you start to see what is universal, what actually helps, and what is actively working against developing this skill.

We all default to our primal movement patterns, and primal usually means raw and uncorrected. Just because we are used to something does not make it right for us. Stack a bad pattern over and over and it costs us more than performance. It is what quietly builds the injuries that seem to pop up out of nowhere.

You cannot think your way out of a movement pattern. You have to feel it. Two8 Bands are the most effective solution I have found thus far. You can feel them guiding you into proper movement patterns, rep after rep, until the quality reps start to outnumber the bad ones.

Learning how to run, is the quickest way of getting faster. Front side mechanics need to be touched upon thoroughly in preseason.

That was fun 😜

Seriously though, after 5 sets of these, EVERYTHING was burning 🔥🔥 I felt like I was floating, and just kept going because I felt like a kid again.

The most OVERLOOKED and UNDERRATED part of training an athlete to run is how they swing their arms.

Over and over again I see folks assume running is something that happens naturally. When we want someone to run faster, the first thing we tell them is to get their knees up. The try harder. How often do you hear anyone coach the arms? And when they do, how helpful is the advise they give?

We have found this to be the single most misunderstood and underdeveloped skill in athletic training. Hands down (pun intended). That's why we spend so much time getting this right first, because when you get the arms right, true athleticism can follow.

We use the coaching cue "DRUM DOWN" so the athlete can picture the motion, drumming the arm downward instead of pumping, pulling, or swinging side to side. Your arms are your accelerant, your steering wheel, and the key to your true athletic potential.

To really lock in the "DRUM DOWN" cue, we use the Two8 Bands. They make it so the athletes can FEEL how the arm is meant to swing. When the bands are removed, the feeling stays. It programs the muscle memory, so the arm swing stops being something you think about or something that feels awkward. It becomes the powerful weapon it was always meant to be.

Want to master your swing? Comment "ARMS" and we'll send you the free Arm Swing Supreme Program, so you learn how to master the arm swing with anyone.

This will be another epic development. Kate is beginning to develop some good habits, and is even starting to “feel” for herself. When the athlete begins to tell you what they did, or didn’t, you are getting there!

Meet Grace. Took her through some foundational hurdling today to add to a few things she already did pretty well. Can you see the changes?
