Wilbur Ross' Hurdle Clinic (with Tony Dees)

how tony dees runs the hurdles i'm wilbur ross i'm the coach of tony d's and i'm going to try to give you a quick clinic not a lesson but a clinic and hurdling the first idea is we want to get the first three strides coming out of the block to make certain that he's in a good position to face up with the hood then he has five strides in which on the fifth stride he's in what is called a pitch or in a flight stride on top of the herd we want him to bring the lead arm bring it across the body which then establishes what is a torque position in flight [Music] now on the downside i want him to bring that lead arm to bring it to the rear and be trailing on i wanted to bring that through with force and what what i call it as a reverse movement when he steps down with that lead light we want to get the lead leg down not with the idea of moving faster but with the idea of bringing the trail light down and taking the first running stride on into the next turtle [Music] off five strides in with the arms then being dropped at the waist level so as the torso can be out there to be photographed by the photo timer so he can get into the finish line as quickly as possible you
