How to do the Linear 3-Part Start Technique

  1. 1

    This drill helps you accelerate as quickly as possible into a sprint from a dead stop. It helps to use a line to start from. Begin with two feet on the line. Place your left foot with the toe next to your right ankle. Place your right foot 4-6 inches behind the left.

  2. 2

    Place your right hand onto the line, and thing bring your nose close to your left knee.

  3. 3

    Squat down as you lean foward, your head being lower than your hips and your weight loaded onto the left leg. This will be your starting position.

  4. 4

    Take your left hand up so that it is parallel to the ground, pointing behind you, and explode out when ready.
