History, finally rewritten 💚

[Niko Karavolos @CoachKaravolos]

A core purpose for me as a coach is to educate athletes well enough that they can eventually have an in-depth, collaborative conversation about what they feel they need.

[Niko Karavolos @CoachKaravolos]

Track coaches get too nuanced in the granular and sometimes forget about the key principles and positions that are needed to achieve those more granular details.

Majority of the time simple interventions to help pelvic/trunk stability will clean up a lot of issues.

Spot the difference?
In the second clip, there’s not enough power through the zero step, the hips don’t project & the legs can’t “scissor” effectively. The foot strikes early, disrupting rhythm & projection.
Small flaws in acceleration mechanics can make or break the first 30–40m

[Elmhurst Track and Field Club @ElmhurstTFC]

Understanding the relationship between frequency and stride length. Projection at the hips and finding balance of how much time needs to be spent on the ground

[Niko Karavolos @CoachKaravolos]

I would rather have a kid that can run 1.0 fly 10m every time than a kids that is inconsistent but has ran .92 once or twice

[Niko Karavolos @CoachKaravolos]

I have a hard time believing that doing assisted side planks and banded monster walks will develop the glute med enough to be able to tolerate the forces or high level running and sprinters as it pertains to cross over gait

[Niko Karavolos @CoachKaravolos]

Build a gym people never want to leave: know members personally, celebrate wins, create rituals, mix shared suffering with social events, track progress, empower involvement, and protect your culture. Strong relationships = strong retention.

[Elmhurst Track and Field Club @ElmhurstTFC]

Improve sprint performance with precision:
1.Acceleration – 10–30m sprints, light resistance, full rest
2.Max Velocity – flying sprints, wicket runs, reactive plyos
3.Efficiency – targeted drills, strength, elasticity
Speed is a skill—train it with intent. #TrackAndField
