Quick Coaching Cues
- Complete this drill for your desired distance, then walk or jog back and repeat.
- Get in as many steps as you can. This is all about frequency. “Spin your wheels”.

- Swing arms from the shoulders and elbows, not just elbows.
- Slightly lean forwards, maintain foot contact at the mid-foot.
- Move as quick as you can maintain good form.
Common Mistakes
