Selected Technique Articles From Track CoachFeeling there was a void in the field of technical coaching information in the U.S., in the fall of 1960 Track & Field News launched a new coaching quarterly titled Track Technique ("The Journal Of Technical Track & Field Athletics). The first editor was the esteemed Fred Wilt. Through the years, TT morphed into Track Coach and along the way became the official technical periodical of USA Track & Field. With Russ Ebbets now at the editor's helm, the Fall 2008 edition of TC marked edition No. 185, totalling 5926 pages. Online we're presenting selected articles—downloadable as PDFs—from back issues of TC. Although some of these pieces go back to the late '80s, they are still relevant to today's coaching & technique development. The articles run the gamut from sprint training to jumps and throws tips to biomechanics and plyometrics. New articles are posted regularly.
