Coach Notes
If the athlete travels forward off the spotter, the block is late. Move the hurdle target back a foot.

How to run the drill
From a short approach: hurdle, spotter block, drop to back on a soft landing mat. Repeat 8 times focusing on a tall block with arms locked overhead. The goal is a vertical pop off the spotter, not horizontal travel.
