JW: AAU Club National Champion
RUN FORREST RUN. Have you ever seen the movie Forrest Gump? In the movie, you should have noticed that Forrest ran everywhere, home, the store, to school, on the football field, etc. He enjoyed it so much that he even ran across the United States. Parents will have their athletes get professional help, because no matter the sport, many of them you have to run.
Did you know, rookies in almost any sport spend the bulk of their time - at least in the beginning - learning proper technique? Whether it's honing the penalty shot on the soccer field, executing the perfect tackle in football, or achieving an efficient swim stroke. Athletes and coaches spend a lot of time and effort on the mechanics of the sport.
Arm carriage and correct foot fall are important for developing a precise running gait, but the easiest way to improve your form is to focus on running cadence. The correct cadence can vary by individual. Optimal cadence is generally considered to be somewhere around 180 strides per minute.
