Coaching Convention 2017 Notes

Davian Clarke – Coaching the 400m


Sets his workout times for the day for the slowest athlete, then asks his faster athletes how they are
feeling and lets them know how much faster they can go.
Uses Overhead shot vs underhand shot distance ratios to predict hamstring pulls.
How many steps in a 400 race?
Dailey mileage for a 400m runner?
Rest is key

Dan Pfaff – Developing the Jumping Events


Minimal Effect dose across all items
Be most concerned with the big rocks
Don’t get too far away from strengths and slowly fill in the weaknesses
Generational Organization –
1st – Competition length jumps
2nd – Various shorter run jumps & event specific exercises
3rd- Acceleration, speed, and jumps exercises
4th – Weight Training, Plyometrics, throwing, alactic runs, wellness
*- Very little general or 5th generation work unless physical literacy or contextual deficiencies are
evident – may uses it for recovery.

Duane Ross: Building the 100m Sprinter


Don’t train the event – Train the athlete for the race demands
Uses tempo runs exclusively for mechanics, then conditioning
Does lots of single leg work (Squats and box jumps) – Does back squat in the fall, then to single leg
almost rest of season.
Uses 2.5 body weight for minimal strength benchmark in the lifts
Monday – Acceleration day, doesn’t go over 40m but very high volume
Ex – 10x10, 8x20, 6x30, 4x40
Tuesday – Tempo/ mechanics “Circuit”
Wednesday – Similar to Monday, less volume
Thursday – Tempo, similar to Tuesday
Friday – Similar to Monday
Uses Wickets a lot,
MECHANICS, MECHANICS, MECHANICS

Randy Gillon: Technical Considerations 100mH (Associate Coach IL)


Weak ankles = Forget about it
Sprint thru take off – don’t want hips to lower and rise, want to stay flat over the hurdle
“Step down from above” Get the takeoff foot down quick
Penultimate & Take off step: Skill development
Put mats on penultimate step and takeoff step – Takeoff mat = 1.95m from hurdle, penultimate
mat = 1.7m in front of that.
Can also use only 1 mat on penultimate to get a stumble reflex into take-off step and help
quickly recovery leg.
Intra-Hurdle sprinting
Oscillating dribbles
10m segments of knee to ankle to calf to knee dribbles
Speed Dribbles – like flys but dribble in the zone

Arthur “Iggy” Ignaczak (Eastern Michigan) – Progressive High Jump Training


Zone Runs – Mirror high jump approach – Push| Run Tall| High Frequency-Pop Up|
Curve Initiated by inside foot crossing over – lean from ankles
Sample Curve Runs
PVC pipe on back – get angle of it to tip to center of curve.
Take-Off
POSTURE!
Preparation – Keep inside shoulder left, and behind
Plant
Take off foot is flat and active
Stiff
Drive leg active drive to parallel
Shin perpendicular to ground – don’t let knee go over or force vector is not vertical.
Take-Off
Block away from the bar – Have athlete jump up and sit onto a wall – helps to keep from dipping
shoulders into bar
Backovers – Get Hips up, “Sit on a counter”
Troubleshooting
Hitting the bar
On the way up? = Too Close
On way down? = Too far away
Peak Height should be over the bar

Steve Rainbolt (Wichita State): Coaching High Jump – A Simple Approach


Full footed, active, rolling penultimate – Move over it fast
Lower heel recovery for the plant
Takeoff- Must not land on the ground – Takeoff quick up off the ground
Must have shoulder at most over the hip – preferably slightly behind – “Back and left”

Dennis Shaver(LSU): Teaching progression of the Phases in the 100m


0-30m
Hop-Hop Start – Like doing a double leg donkey kick into a start w/ no blocks
Sticks – Uses basic 15cm progression but more for a visual for the coach
Bound Progression – 10m Segments
Straight Leg| Low heel recovery | Good front side|
30-60m
In & Outs
Breathing
High Knees
Covering ground
Bounce
Rhythm maintenance
Relaxation
100m Sled pulls
60 Flys
60-100m
Maintenance of speed and form
Speed endurance runs of 120-250m
