THIS Subtle Posture Correction Boosts Sprinting Performance? | The Great Athlete Tip
It's been well documented that #posture really matters in health and sport performance.
And sprinting is no different. Posture can really make or break your sprinting performance. #Athletes often have a blinkered view of their potential and their training. They are focused purely on training hard. This mentality completely shuts off all other possibilities because they believe all change comes about through weeks and weeks of hard work.
But change can happen in an instant and these changes are so easy to implement.
In this video, I go over a simple change in posture that can enhance (or hamper) all parts of athlete performance including your mental state. And all it is changing your point of focus both physically and mentally. ... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ki-wMLlRf3Y
Breathing correctly is essential for athlete performance and to run faster. It precipitates the natural running mechanics for every human. Make sure you get it right with this essential tip

Be-Activated is a muscle activation method that goes gainst the grain. It can upgrade any sprinter's performance almost immediately and with measurable results. It's immediate because it does not focus on the strength of muscles or the fitness of the athlete but by altering the nervous system and improving the connection and messaging between brain and muscle. Changing how you feel changes your muscle strength, changes how the muscles work together and therefore changes flexibility. The world of sport tells us that change can't happen quickly - that you cannot enhance sport performance in seconds. Athletes and #sprinters are taught that it takes hard grind to bring about any improvement. But for sprinters, hard grind does not improve sprinting speed on its own. In fact, hard work in the long run is a massive hindrance and will cause frustration and injury. Hard work neglects the power of relaxation and the general principles of the body. Now me shouting down Hard work doesn't mean you do not engulf yourself in your sport and train regularly. It means changing your approach to your training. Be-Activated shows you how your body performs when you are in an optimal state. That optimal state is a relaxed state. It puts you, the athlete or sprinter, in that optimal state and points you to the areas that are hindering you. That optimal state is always in a state of relaxation. When you are in that state, you are "in the flow" which is hugely valuable as you will move in your own natural way and react with less effort and with more precision. As a sprinter, you'll be able to apply more power to the gorund with each stride and you will have more endurance as you are cnserving energy for later on in the race. You need to do the right things for you first before any work can bare fruit. You have to start from the right place to get where you want to go. This video talks about a system or hands on method called Be-Activated which helps you start from the right place. For any sprinter, that right place is from a relaxed parasympathetic state. If you are in that relaxed state, your muscles will upgrade themselves and fire optimally. If they do that then you are using all off your body's potential to run faster and to curb the disease of injury.
Relaxation for sprinting is not a new concept for most elite sprinters. We hear about its benefits from pundits, coaches and athletes themselves. However, there is a paucity of good information into sport performance and especially into sprinting itself. Added to that is the huge powerful myths that hamper athletes from achieving what they truly desire in their career.
Its theory is based on breaking through dysfunction that the athlete has so that he/she can truly achieve their goals in sport.
Strength, flexibility and Speed can all be improved..... and if you get into a relaxed state, they can all be improved quicker than you think.
It s not about taking short cuts - it's about efficiency and allowing the body to perform in the way it's supposed to.

The viewer understands that it does not guarantee results nor is it meant to cure depression or any mental health related matters. If you're effected by mental health difficulties, please seek assistance from a qualified practitioner.
This channel is dedicated to linking mind and body for your ultimate sprinting or #400m running performance. Relaxation helps you do this. So this meditation intends to do that. This meditation is for just before you warm up for your race. If you run with tightness in your race then this meditation is for you. Why do athletes run with tightness? Tightness and anxiety hits athletes at this time and it often sucks the potential out of the athlete. All the training leading up to this race can become redundant because of this tightness. Tightness and anxiety comes about when you, the athlete, put pressure on yourself. You put pressure on yourself when you want the personal record / best too much. This video intends to help you stop handicapping yourself before the race. It is to bring relaxation and flow state. It guards you against pre race nerves or helps prevent you

Want to get quicker times in your 100m or 200m or even 400m. Then you have to make your sprinting feel easy.
When it's easy, you're relaxed and when you're relaxed, you're powerful.
However, athletes nowadays do not have that goal. We have a society heavily built on the virtues of effort and hard work and this infiltrates sport. Athletes are not looking to find there sport easy and for this reason, hard work is front and centre of ttheir training.
I argue this as a bad thing and totally contrary to how the human body is supposed to function.

World Records are NOT broken through extreme effort - Why not? | The Great Athlete Tip
Subscribe to my channel to receive valuable advice on peak race day performance.
When you look at world record races in the 400m or middle distance races, the athletes are not collapsed on the ground after running the fastest they ve, or anyone else, has ever gone.
Why?
Supreme fitness? of course. But then if it was just that, why do those athletes not follow it up with another record the next race? and another after that? they are just as fit in the race after as they were before.
The truth is there is a reason why times fluctuate through a racing season. it's how they feel during the race.

I always talk about concentrating on how you feel as an important gateway to incorporating relaxation into your sprinting and getting closer to your flow state. However, apart ffrom the physcial and mental benefits relaxation has, it's also important to consider how it effects the other athletes in the race. But how does it do that?
Well people will sense a difference in you because you would be doing something different. On the start line, there is a lot of nervous energy washing about and this manifests itself as a lot of twitchy behaviour. You can see it at the start of any 100m race, the sprinters jumping up and down, shaking their arms around, maybe a few let out a few shouts, smacking their thighs or shoulders. This is all nervous energy. An unease with their surroundings. The only athlete who seems to use this nervous energy to his benefit is Karston Warholm but I'm not even sure its the best way for him.
Then imagine a sprinter whose relaxed and does none of these things. He's totally motionless. He's totally focused on himself. Before the race, his movements are slow and predictable. that sprinter is acting totally different to the rest. When someone does something different, other athletes notice. A relaxed state changes an athlete's stature and his essence.
Linford Christie in the Barcelona olympics is a great example.

You're probably thinking why is #breathing important to running faster? Well breathing, along with moving, is the foundation of human existence. The problem is society often ignores it and we assume because we breathe 24/7 that we do it correctly. This is far from the truth.
In my Be-Activated treatment, the very first activation I do is focused on the diapraghm and the breathing habits of the sprinter or athlete. This is because the breathing sets the foundation for all the other activations. The results of all the acotvations depend on this base. And therefore your sprinting career depends on it because the truth is, as Doug Heel says, the body wants to do 2 things. To breathe and to move and if it can't do either, then you die.
So getting the breathing correct is paramount. This video explains the correct breathing techniques. These are breathing techniques are to prepare the body for optimal sprinting.
Why is breathing important for sprinters?
1. It's important for glute strength and power. Breathing correctly activates the diaphragm to push down. This engages the psoas muscle (hip flexor muscle) which is a kind of messenger to the hips to start working. To not breathe correctly is well neglecting the hips and expecially your glutes. The place where all your power comes from.
2. Correct breathing technique will relax any sprinter. Relaxation is the cornerstone of sprinting. If you're relaxed then you'll sprint faster - period. Anxiety and tension is the enemy of sprinting.
3. Breathing improves posture. If you get the hips working properly then this has a chain reaction up and down the body. Good posture improves running mechanics and makes you more efficient which will improve endurance.
4 Breathing will redice injury rate. Phsycological stress has been linked to greater injury rate (Nippert et al, 2008). Breathing correctly reduces stress.
We often ignore things that are too simple (and too boring) but this is a vital part of health and performance that we neglect. Watch the video and don't neglect this. this is the probably the easiest thing you can do to improve your sprinting exponentially.
