    Acceleration and Speed

    Always warm-up before working on these drills.
  1. Blind Starts - Lay on your stomach, pop up and gradually accelerate while maintaining proper running form. At the end of 30 yds (25 m) you should be at full speed.
  2. Tall Fall - From an upright standing position, lean forward until you feel that you are going to fall over. At the final moment drive one leg forward and accelerate into a sprint. 20-30 yds (18-25 m)
