Description
In 1964, Bud Winter published The Rocket Sprint Start, based on Armin Hary of Germany winning the 100 meters at the 1960 Olympic Games.
If you’ve seen the vintage footage, you will agree on two facts: (1) he was one of the fastest starters of all time, and (2) his pickup in the first 20 yards was amazing
What did he do differently?
A careful film analysis of Armin Hary’s form, taken from slow motion pictures, revealed seven ways in which his form differed from the rest of the sprinters. In each case they were all a definite contribution toward faster block clearance and faster pickup.
Bud Winter pioneered modern Track and Field, while creating the “Science of Sprinting†with his thorough, step by step detailed analysis and scientific studies.
This is the original book printed in 1964 plus an updated section comparing today's Jamaican sprinters (Asafa Powell & Usain Bolt) written by Jimson Lee, Coach of SpeedEndurance.com.
