Finish
5-10-5 5-10-5

1. Stagger your feet. Drop the foot in the direction
you plan to go slightly behind the other foot.

2. Distribute your weight unevenly. Load the leg in

the direction you plan to run.

3. Gain ground on your first step. Too many

athletes stand up or drop-step before actually
gaining ground. Explode laterally on your first
movement.

4. Stay low - the higher your center of gravity, the

more likely you are to lose your balance.

5. Sprint through the finish. Don't pull up as you

approach the finish line. Sprint through the end
just as you would in a 40yd dash.
