As we begin any conditioning workout. It is always important to remember that we need to go through a thorough stretching program before we start. As we get started, the first drill that we are going to work through every time is to make sure that our technique is proper as we begin to move and we are going to work forward in what we call a “High Knee Walk” and what Tom is going to do for is to just point on a couple of things.
First of all, he is going to pick out on a focal point. He is going to pick out a spot that he is going to run to with his eyes. He is going to keep his head there. A lot of times he gets his flopped his head right to left not does slowing down because his body starts waving as well. So, he is going to pickup that focal point and his body is going to be very mechanical right now because if we can make our technique good when we run, it is going to cut down the amount of time it takes to get from point A to point B. We want Tom to swing at the arms at a 90 degree angle this way. The hand comes up next to the cheek, we swing with the shoulder, the hand comes back behind, the belt or the hip back in here. The knees are going to come up to almost to the 90-degree angle. The elbows are going to rock in to a 90-degree angle. I want our technique to be very good.
So, Tom if you would let us take this through and take a look at what we have got.
(Demo)
Notice how the knees are coming up high. The arms are pumping. He has got that good focal point. He is just turned in right to where he is going. That is the kind of running technique that when we put it all back in the gear that we want to have an opportunity to look at everyday for the ball player.
Normally in a work out, we would do three to four repetitions. You do not need to go much more than 20 or 30 feet at any given time.
