This camp is a high-energy track and field training experience designed to develop speed, power, and proper sprint mechanics for youth and teen athletes. The camp emphasizes correct sprint form, explosive starts, and block work to help athletes maximize acceleration and performance from the very first step. Key Focus Areas: Sprint mechanics (drive phase, acceleration, top-end speed), starting block setup, positioning, and reaction time, explosive starts and first-step quickness, speed, agility, and sprint-specific conditioning, proper warm-up, stretching, and injury prevention, and mental focus, race strategy, and competitive confidence. Outcomes: Improved block starts and reaction time, increased acceleration and sprint efficiency, strong technical foundation for competitive sprinting, and strong foundation for track and field and other sports.
