A 3-step learning and performance strategy for the 100 metres start

A 3-step learning and perform- ance strategy to be applied before the start of the 100 metres is introduced in this paper. The strategy is composed of three components: Readiness, focusing attention, and being at the 'zone'. A step-by-step schedule for the implementation of the strategy before the start takes place is pre- sented. Practical considerations for the coach and sprinter are pre- sented as well. ABSTRACT
