Dear coaches,
I need your advise to increase the running speed of a slow runner on vault.
When we have tests, her sprint is ok. She not the fastest, but far from the slowest runner.
But when we use a trampoline, springboard, plankoline, etc., she can't run as fast as in tests.
She has very long leggs and it's as if she's 'floating' over the mat when she runs.
She makes very long steps, but the frequency of the steps is very low, resulting in a slow run.
I tried sprint training, sprinting to a line, sprinting to a little mat, ... But when I change the mat by the springboard, she's 'floating' again.
When she hits the springboard she has this little bend in the knees, it seems like she's absorbing the energy.
We do a lot of plyometrics though...
Any suggestions?
Thanks!
