Training and Drills to Connect both High School Hurdle Events

This video doubles as both a tool to help pick out potential hurdle talent and work through drills to maximize athletes' natural abilities.  Designed for the high school coach in mind, but the drills will benefit all age groups.  Our hurdling philosophy is to keep it simple, always be sprinting, and focus on developing both legs.  This presentation was created and filmed with head coach Eric Jubeck of Monroe High School and Monroe's hurdles coach Tyler Witt.  Originally created as a presentation for the 2021 Wisconsin Track & Field Coaches Association (WISTCA) Clinic.  

We start by discussing how to build a successful track & field and hurdle program and end with 30+ minutes of drills beginning with warm-ups / mobility and work our way through 100/110 and 300 hurdle drills.  We use high school athletes (boys and girls) that look like high school athletes to walk through each and every drill that we have used to coach 10 different hurdle athletes to state a total of 23 times with 10 podium finishes over the past 9 seasons for 2 programs.
