Event focus: 60m / 100m • Sample: 40-yard dash equivalent
Primary Impact: Velocity leak — speed starts leaking around step 15. The fix is smoother force entry + faster release so more force produces forward speed.
Predicted Results Upside (Potential)
This athlete hits a real peak. The limiter is holding max velocity longer (leak starts ~step 15).
Phases & targets
StepsPrimary Body Area Targets (Strength Training Cues)
- Right hamstring: increase late-swing control + strength endurance
- Left quad / hip flexor chain: improve timing + flexibility to step down under hips
- Ankles (R > L): increase stiffness/elastic return to reduce contact "noise"
Do this first
- Wickets (rhythm + posture)
- Fly 10s (hold speed without forcing)
- Pogos (Explosive ankle + Stable feet)
What the data says
Coaching CuesPerformance snapshot
- Peak speed is strong (real max velocity window).
- Leak starts early (≈ step 15).
- Pattern points to entry + stiffness timing, not output.
Why that matters
- Sprinting winners hold max velocity longer.
- Early leak = braking/"noise" grows at contact.
- Fix = cleaner entry + faster release.
What changes move the needle
- Step down under hips (reduce reaching/braking)
- Stiff ankle at contact (less collapse)
- Hamstring late-swing control (right side priority)
- Consistency: repeatable contacts
Speed curve (mph) — full sample
22 stepsWhat to look for
- Acceleration is clean through step 9.
- Max velocity window exists (10–14).
- Leak begins before fatigue should be the driver.
Move-the-Needle Cue
"Fast and quiet contacts." Quiet contact = Stable entry + stronger feet + faster release.

Step Timing & Force (estimated)
LB • Effort vs ImpactHow to Read
Effort = Forward / propulsive load. Impact = total load at contact. When impact stays high but effort % drops, less load becomes forward speed (leak).
- Best-case: Effort % stays steady
- Leak-case: Effort % drops late
What changes move the needle
- Stabilize foot posture (avoid collapse)
- Increase ankle stiffness (elastic return)
- Improve step-down under hips (reduce braking)
- Right hamstring: late-swing control
Effort % of Total Load
FitFeet™ Recommendation (in-shoe exercise kits)
Daily micro-doseWhy it fits this profile
Velocity leak profiles usually break down at the foot: entry quality + stiffness timing. FitFeet™ adds in-shoe activation so stability becomes automatic without over-cueing.
Which model
- Foundation: stability + foot activation first (best default)
- Core Results: Stronger activation (when posture holds well)
- Balance: Control when contacts are inconsistent
Daily dose (5–8 minutes)
- Walk + ankle pops (2×12/side)
- Pogos (2×20)
- Short dribbles (2×20m)

Recommended Drills (by weakness)
- Right hamstring (late swing): high-knee dribbles + controlled wicket runs
- Left quad/hip flexor timing: A-skip rhythm + Quadriceps mobility
- Foot entry stability: pogos + wall ankle pops
- Max velocity hold: fly 10s (quality reps)
What success looks like next
- Leak begins later (step 15 → step 17+)
- Finish speed rises (18.6 → 19.5+)
- Transfer score rises (+1 to +3 quickly)
Motion DNA™ snapshot
Coach summary (one minute tip)
what to say / what to doWhat's happening
Athlete hits max peak velocity, then leaks speed early because ground contact gets heavier and less of the load becomes forward speed.
What fixes it first
- Stiff ankle + stable foot entry
- Foot under hips at speed (reduce braking)
- Right hamstring: late-swing control
- Micro-dose max velocity holds (fly 10s)
Fastest win
Clean foot entry + stiffness timing. That usually pushes the leak later in 7–14 days with daily micro-dose.
Correction targets (simple)
what changes fastestTarget 1: transfer
Make more force transfer speed (clean entry + fast release).
- Pogos
- Dribbles
- Wickets
Target 2: Posture
Keep hips tall with legs fully extending during max velocity so steps don't reach, collapse and cause braking.
- Wickets
- Fly 10s
- Step-down cue
Target 3: Consistency
Make repeats match—less variability in contacts.
- Same warm-up
- Same rhythm
- Short daily dose
Next steps — How to improve
Fix the force leak • Protect max velocity7-day plan (simple)
- 2 days: wickets + fly 10s (max velocity hold)
- 2 days: dribbles + A-skips (timing + rhythm)
- 2 days: pogos + ankle pops (stiffness + entry)
- Daily: FitFeet™ in-shoe activation (5–8 min)
What should change first
Coaching Cue
"Fast and quiet." Quiet contact is the signal that entry + stiffness timing are right.
Body Targets
- Right hamstring: late-swing strength endurance
- Left quad/hip flexor: mobility + timing
- Ankles: stiffness/elastic return
What to do in practice
- Short max-velocity exposures (fly 10s)
- Quality > quantity (stop before it leaks)
- Repeat the same rhythm (wickets)
FitFeet™ choice
- Foundation: stability first (default)
- Core Performance: stronger activation
- Balance: control under inconsistency

Close
Fix contact + stiffness timing to push the leak later. That's where the time drop comes from.
Bottom line
What changes performanceIf you only do one thing
Fix foot position and stability + stiffness timing. That delays the leak to later in the sprint and keeps finish speed high.
Coach should expect
- Leak later
- Finish MPH to increase
- More repeatable reps
- Better speed transfer efficiency
