B-Skip
Coaching cues
- Same as A-Skip but extend the leg at the top of the drive
- Drive knee up; extend the leg forward; claw the foot back under the hip
- The pawing action develops proper sprint hamstring mechanics
- Stay tall; arms drive in opposition
Common faults 2

Erectors compensate for the leg extension rather than maintaining tall posture.
