Lesson 14:
Bounding & Kneeling Switches
This lesson focuses on helping athletes develop explosive acceleration through bounding drills and kneeling switches. Bounding teaches proper takeoff mechanics by mimicking a gazelle-like motion, while kneeling switches reinforce efficient arm and leg movements for powerful starts. These drills enhance muscle memory and transition seamlessly into block starts, ensuring optimal sprint mechanics.
