Question Hi.I play soccer and play on the wing so i require alot of speed.I am one of the fastest on the team but i feel there is something holding me back lately.I think i have developed a bad habit of pointing my toes outwards when im sprinting and i feel this is not giving me the explosive start that i need.I s this true and how can i fix it?I do sprint on my toes but i want to know if pointing my toes slighlty in will help me sprint faster?
Answer Hello James, It depends on how far outward are you pointing your toes. If you are pointing them only very slightly, I would not get too concerned with it, but if it is enough that it changes your form, then you may want to fix it. Just try to keep everything pointed forward. Te more you can have everything pointed in te direction you are going, the better. Just practice it in training and keep focusing on it. You will get faster and better.
