Key coaching points:
- Excellent shape – tall and braced
- Stable, level pelvis
- Dorsiflexed ankle

Hurdle size and placement should be appropriate to athlete size and mobility.
Coach from head on and side on from 3m away, perhaps from behind.
- Basic walkover
- Lateral walkover
- Over and under
- Basic walkover with skip
- Lateral skips
- Lateral scissors
- Loaded basic walkover
- Loaded walkover with skip

Interesting drills, but as I never have access to high hurdles I can’t use them. I might try using them with lower plastic hurdles.
