THE PERFORMANCE SERIES:SPEED & HURDLES

Register a middle or high school team for the October 24–25 Speed & Hurdles Clinic. Select your total number of athletes below. Your team’s full price and included Coach Shadow Passes will appear before checkout. One school representative completes the purchase; a separate consent form is required for every athlete.

Your next breakthrough starts with better mechanics.

Train with Hurdle Science founder Marlon Odom and Brooklyn Speed & Power co-founder Richard James at this two-day Speed & Hurdle Clinic for middle school, high school, and collegiate athletes. Build stronger sprint and hurdle mechanics, improve rhythm and movement efficiency, and take more confidence into every practice and race. 

You will work on:

• Sprint mechanics and acceleration

• Hurdle mechanics and rhythm

• Movement efficiency and body position

• Technical progressions and event-specific drills

• Confidence for training and competition

Featured coaches:

Coach Marlon Odom is the founder and CEO of Hurdle Science, a technical program focused on the biomechanics of hurdling, sprinting, and strength training. He is a four-time Collegiate All-American at Texas Tech, a three-time West Regional Champion, a Big 12 indoor hurdles champion, and a three-time Big 12 outdoor 110-meter hurdles champion. He previously led German National sprints and hurdles in Stuttgart, Germany.

Coach Richard James is a 2004 Olympian, World Indoor Champion, NCAA All-American, and co-founder of Brooklyn Speed & Power.

Before You Buy

Team Passes are available to school teams only. One account may combine its paid athlete registrations before the team deadline, seven days before the clinic. The price shown is for the selected number of athletes and cannot be combined with public promotions or discounts.

Groups of 9–15 athletes include one complimentary Coach Shadow Pass; groups of 16 or more include two total complimentary passes, subject to available coach capacity. Each athlete must complete the required registration and consent process before participating. One same-team athlete substitution is permitted before the deadline if all required forms are completed.

See the work. Learn the method. Coach with more confidence.

Shadow Hurdle Science founder Marlon Odom and Brooklyn Speed & Power co-founder Richard James as they coach athletes through sprint and hurdle mechanics, rhythm, technical progressions, and event-specific drills. See how they assess movement, select drills, deliver cues, correct technique, and adapt instruction for athletes at different levels, then take practical methods back to your own middle school, high school, collegiate, club, or private athletes.

As a coach participant, you will observe and learn:

• How to teach sprint mechanics in clear, athlete-friendly language

• How to introduce and progress hurdle mechanics

• How to identify common technical errors and cue corrections

• How to build rhythm, posture, and movement efficiency

• How to use drills with purpose, not just repetition

• How to adjust coaching for developing and more experienced athletes
