I am happy to announce that, starting in October of 2021, Team Steve will return to providing hurdling instruction after a two-year pandemic-induced layoff. Before the pandemic began, I, along with coach Hector Cotto and the rest of our staff, conducted seven Team Steve Speed & Hurdle Camps between 2017 and 2019. Now we will be conducting a revamped version, which we are entitling The Team Steve Downhill Hurdling Academy. The name change reflects two things: 1) We will specifically be teaching the “downhill” hurdling style that I have been using exclusively with my own athletes for the past five years or so. 2) The word “Academy” is intentional, as it reflects an even greater emphasis on our academic approach to guiding hurdlers in the do’s and don’t’s of how to hurdle in a manner that is both fluid and aggressive. Academy #1 is for athletes who have run 14.99 or faster in the 100/110h, while Academy #2 is for those who have run slower than that or are new to hurdling.
In conjunction with each academy, we will simultaneously conduct a Team Steve Art of Hurdling Coaches’ Workshop. Coaches who sign up for one of the workshops will be provided instructions, via a Zoom call a week prior, on how to coach the downhill style. Then, at the academy, these coaches will, along with the Team Steve staff, provide hands-on instructions and instant feedback to the athletes.
For more information and to sign up for either one of the academies (athletes) or either one of the workshops (coaches), click the appropriate link at the top of this post. Hope to see you there!
