Nick Dakin Hurdle Drills DVD

Coach Nick Dakin presents a 5-part drill plan for you to incorporate into your hurdle practice routine. Dakin’s instruction consists of:

  1. Hurdle mobility drills that work through range of motion with lead and trail legs.
  2. Technical Conditioning:  Dakin begins with postural drills that are designed to strengthen the core and to keep the athlete "tall" at all times.
  3. Technical drills:  Dakin focuses on isolation drills with a progression that includes side step drills, full hurdle short stride drills, alternating lead right and lead left and a one-step drill.
  4. Spatial Awareness drills:   Dakin’s focus is creating athlete awareness for coming into and away from the hurdles.
  5. Bend Drills:  Dakin offers drills and strategies for maintaining technical control on the bend.
