So simple yet so effective. Targeting the transverse and frontal planes here. Cues: ✅Keep big toe on ground - don’t overly supinate ✅Push knee out for glute max and medius ✅Hinge, don’t squat This is harder than it looks, but if done right, it will hit the glutes very hard.

A 100m sprinter will produce the same level of lactate after a 100m race (avg 10mmol) as a player doing 5x30m shuttle sprints with 30s recovery. Teams need to train like sprinters for efficiency and also train RSA at correct intensity zone for match day energy system demands.

Everyone gets the privilege of racing a 4x400m. Everyone is a hurdler or quarter miler until proven otherwise. This doesn't mean extraneous loads of long sprints in practice. It's just s few reps really fast with huge recovery. Kinda of like a meet! Magic!

Must. Build. 400m. Runners. Who is going to step up and be on this 4x4 team that will win conference, make it out of districts, and make state? Who wants to step outside of their 100/200m comfort zone and step up to the best race in track & field?
