How to do a 3-4-5-6-7 Foot Stride Drill

This next drill is excellent for teaching a player proper knee lift while sprinting. Place six hurdles three feet apart in a straight line. Have the player sprint through the hurdles with one step between each one. Then adjust the hurdles to be four feet apart and complete the same run, then five, six or even seven feet apart. The athlete should focus on their leg cycle while aggressively sprinting through their hurdles. Note however, that if the player begins to over-stride, a condition where their center of gravity falls too far behind their front foot, it will cause them to slow down.
