Glenn Smith: Biomechanics of Efficient Sprinting

Canada's own Glenn Smith sat down with me to explain pelvic and t-spine movement as it relates to efficient upright sprint mechanics. Coach Smith details how he observes and cues the athlete to move 'their' model in the right direction. This concept also reigns true in the long jump; the ability to apply force in the run can dictate some of the common errors at takeoff. There is a lot of great insight inside this episode here; I hope you enjoy it!Affiliated with https://trackbarn.com/ - use promo code TNF10 at the checkout!Timestamps:Intro: 0:00 - 7:35Athlete to Coach Transition: 7:35 - 16:00Shaping a coaching philosophy: 16:00 - 24:05The role of the pelvis and t-spine in sprinting 24:05 - 35:30Five principles in the long approach run: 35:30 - 50:20Eureka moments: 50:20 - 53:50Closing: 53:50 - 57:20Support the show
