Your 40-yard dash isn’t won at top speed.
It’s won in the first few steps.
Most athletes focus on running fast.
Elite athletes focus on accelerating fast.
To improve your 40-yard dash:
• Project forward aggressively
• Push the ground back with force
• Keep a powerful arm drive
• Stay patient during the drive phase
• Build speed step by step
The goal isn't to pop upright immediately.
The athletes with the best 40 times know how to create force early and carry momentum down the field.
Master acceleration mechanics
and watch your times drop.
Watch this closely and apply it to your next sprint session.
Save it and share it with an athlete preparing for testing season.
