Lesson 7:
10-Step Approach and the Curve
This lesson focuses on perfecting the 10-step approach, emphasizing the importance of a smooth, controlled curve after six straight steps. The instructor advises against forcing a "cut step" that can cause athletes to veer off-course. The key is to maintain forward momentum while entering the curve, gradually building speed through the last four steps. Additionally, the lesson discusses step measurement and using precise angles (like a right triangle) to ensure consistency and accuracy in the approach. The use of two tapes during practice helps athletes mark the correct 90-degree angle for optimal performance at competitions.
