Letter from the Editor, March 2016
Letter from the Editor March 2016 Hello readers, and my apologies for getting this month’s issue out late. Usually I’m able to juggle all my responsibilities fairly easily, but this month I got buried under, as a lot of deadlines converged upon me at one time. But I’m happy to report that this month’s issue...
Identifying and Addressing Technical Flaws
Identifying and Addressing Technical Flaws One of the most important things we do as hurdle coaches is identify and troubleshoot technical flaws.

The true athletic studs were those who played football in...
Reducing Ground Contact Time and Air Time
Reducing Ground Contact Time and Air Time When it comes to the advanced and elite level hurdlers, there are very few things that separate the best from the pretty good. Often, a few tenths of a second separate the winner from the 8th-place finisher. Everybody takes the same amount of steps to the first hurdle...
