A Skip Vs B Skip (It's NOT the Leg Action)

What's the REAL difference between the A Skip and the B Skip? How do you perform these drills? As a sprinter or jumper do you really need to do both drills as part of a warm up routine?Former Olympian and WR holder Wille Banks breaks it all down in this lesson.In this video you'll learn:1. What A skips and B Skips are.2. How to properly perform each with detailed technical breakdowns and slow motion demonstrations.3. The difference between the A and B skips in terms of technique and what each drill helps to develop. 4. Some common errors in these warm up drills.5. The fundamentals of each drill that should provide you with enough information to determine if either or both of these drills should be added to your warm up routine. Both of these drills focus on ground contact which is essential for proper technique. Most coaches focus on the leg action which doesn't help you sprint faster, it's the force you apply to the ground. Remember, sprinting faster is about applying the maximum amount of force down to the ground. The more force you can apply to ground the faster you will go. The fastest sprinters on the planet produce 5 times more vertical force into the ground compared to slower ones. Learning how to perform a and b skips correctly will absolutely help with vertical force development and ultimately speed.Demonstrations from Olympian Chris Benard, Warren Fraser and Cejhae Greene
