The Rocket Sprint Start Book now on Amazon Kindle

In 1964, Bud Winter published the book The Rocket Sprint Start based on Germany’s Armin Hary 100 meter victory at the 1960 Olympic Games.

Bud Winter pioneered modern Track and Field, while creating the “Science of Sprinting” with his thorough, step by step detailed analysis and scientific studies.

Almost 50 years later, The Rocket Sprint Start book has been revised for the new millennium.

The new edition is broken down in 3 parts:

1. The original book printed in 1964
2. A modern example of today’s Sprint Start, updated by myself
3. Comparison to the 1960 Rocket Sprint Start to the Jamaican sprinters of 2008

In my section (Part 2) I discuss:

• Quick Overview of Starting Block Techniques
• 5 Phases of the 100 meter Sprint
• Different Types of Blocks
• Setting up your Blocks
• Getting into your blocks – The Routine
• The “On Your Marks” Position
• The “Set” Position
• Gun and Reaction Time
• Drive phase and the 1st step (clearance)
