Four Essential Tips For Coaching Track Relays and Sprints
- By Grant Young
Coaching track relays can be quite challenging for several reasons. First of all, coordinating the handoffs between runners in a relay requires precise timing and technique. This means that as a coach, you need to ensure that each runner understands their role and the specific timing of the handoff to the next runner.
Additionally, managing the different strengths and abilities of each runner in the relay team can be a complex task. Understanding each athlete's strengths and weaknesses and finding the right combination of runners to form a competitive relay team requires careful observation and assessment.
Furthermore, motivating and inspiring the relay team to work together and perform at their best can be a demanding aspect of coaching track relays. As a coach, you must foster a sense of teamwork and unity among the relay runners, while also addressing individual concerns and maintaining a positive team dynamic.
Lastly, the pressure of ensuring that the relay team performs well in high-stakes competitions adds another layer of difficulty to coaching track relays. The coach must prepare the team both physically and mentally for the challenges they will face during the race.
Coaching track relays requires a combination of technical expertise, interpersonal skills, and strategic thinking, making it a difficult but rewarding endeavor. But with a few tips from an elite coach like Erik Jenkins, any relay coach can get their team winning races in no time.
Erik Jenkins is entering his fifth season as the head coach of the USF track and field and cross country program. The Bulls have collected 23 individual and relay event conference championships, the program’s first men’s team conference championship, and two individual event national championships under Jenkins’ leadership.
Jenkins arrived in Tampa after serving 11 seasons as the head coach at Western Kentucky. During his time as head coach of the Hilltoppers, Jenkins led Western Kentucky to 30 Sun Belt and Conference USA championships, was tabbed conference coach of the year 21 times between outdoor and indoor nominations, and was selected as the USFTCCA Southeast Region Coach of the Year five times.
Coach Jenkins’ ‘Sprints and Relays Tips and Techniques featuring Coach Erik Jenkins’ course, shares several unique training tips, techniques, and race strategies that make it a must-have resource for coaches and sprinters at any competitive level.
Sprinting Mechanics
While a great sprinter can come from any body type or background, Coach Jenkins noted that everyone must encompass three commonalities: the ability to push early, maintain, and decelerate efficiently.
When instilling these crucial components of sprinting success in your athletes, coaches will want to start by ensuring the sprinter’s head is up, and they’re looking forward during the acceleration to the maintenance phase. In addition, the sprinter should understand that their hips need to be slightly behind where their shoulders should be while trying to push at the sprint's beginning.
When it comes to moving the legs, the mechanics should make it so the runner’s knees are headed directly upwards with each motion before their foot goes to dorsiflexion. What sprinters don’t want to be doing is for their calf to bow out while running, which wastes energy and facilitates unnecessary movement which can be the difference between winning and losing a race.
A great way to commit these techniques to memory is by standing in front of a runner and holding their shoulders in place while they’re slightly leaned over in the same way they’d be running during a race. From there, you can help train them to execute their leg revolutions correctly. And if there are multiple players on a relay team that you’re trying to teach at once, have them do this with their hands against a wall.
Starting Blocks
Coach Jenkins explains that there’s no cookie-cutter approach to setting blocks and that each athlete is going to have their own preference.
Coach Jenkins likes to have his athletes set their blocks in practice along the lane lines, so he has a clear visual to be able to evaluate and teach from as they practice their starts.
When it comes to the actual start, the coach wants to make sure their athletes’ hands are completely behind the line, that their weight is shifted right on top of the hands around their shoulder blades, and that the head is in a neutral position with the spine. All of that should remain the same once the athlete’s bottom comes up right before the race begins, aside from where their weight is shifted (it will shift backward to the core/legs).
The Finish
Coach Jenkins believes that the most important aspect of developing a sprinter is developing the way they finish races. And the first and foremost aspect of this is ensuring that the sprinter is moving through the finish line rather than moving or running to the finish line.
In a fast race where the winner and loser can be decided between hundredths of a second, there can be no cruising through the finish line. Instead, the sprinter must be committed to the finish line and run through it.
A great way to coach this is by having
a focus point that is past the finish line. For example, a 100 m sprint
or relay runner should be actually thinking they’re running a 105 m
race because that extra 5 m should be completed with the same intensity to make sure the runner doesn’t let up on the gas.

Sprint Out Passing: Move the Pocket for Success
- By Keith Grabowski
Why Sprint Out?
The sprint out game provides a diverse package that builds upon other components of the passing game. Overall, the concepts used in an offense can be adapted to fit the quarterback on the move.
Sprint out fits into any offense and any type of personnel grouping. It’s simple to teach and it gives an offense efficiency in moving the ball down the field.
Kevin Kelley, who spent the 2021 season as the head coach of FCS passing leader Presbyterian, starts by pointing out a flaw in the thought process that many coaches mention as why to not sprint out...that it “takes away half of the field.” His answer is simple. You aren't taking away half of the field because they have to cover the other half of the field.
The ability to move the pocket and the launch point of the quarterback can help create and attack holes in defensive coverage.
Moving the launch point certainly is a way to alleviate pressure and get the quarterback cleaner looks. For the offensive line, the movement will help them as well.
Protection
As mentioned, changing the launch point to deter pressure is a big benefit offered by the sprint out passing game. The protection is relatively simple and doesn’t require the refined technique of the dropback game. Where the dropback game protection forces an offensive lineman to deal with two-way go’s as well as having to be sound in twists and stunts, the movement of the pocket simplifies both technique and scheme.
Matt Drinkall, TE Coach at Army, begins with the understanding of protection being full-gap 7- man protection. He doesn’t like to call it turnback. He sets it up so there are two protecting the front side edge. His version of sprint out allows the QB to get on the move but be set up to throw which he feels gives a higher completion percentage, especially when moving to the opposite side of his throwing arm. Here’s how he does it.
With a spread set, the protection can be adapted to six-man with the single running back utilized to protect the front side edge.
Like Coach Drinkall, Eric Marty, now the offensive coordinator for the USFL Michigan Panthers doesn’t teach the protection as a turnback, and he never asks a lineman to reach a frontside defender. This philosophy makes it much easier for the offensive line. He explains how they protect against an even front with the single running back assigned to the frontside edge.
Concepts
The concepts for sprint out can be very simple and build off of each other. Coupled with some compliments, this is a segment of an offense that defensive coordinators will have to spend time planning to stop.
To start with, sprint out can be used from any type of formation 3x1, 2x2, 3x2, and 4x1. For Coach Kelley, it starts with something simple like a one-on-one to the single WR side. The safety is slid over and not in a great position to help. The WR will run and out-and-up but come back if he doesn’t beat the corner as illustrated below.
In this example, Coach Kelley moves the running back into empty to put him in a position to help on the edge. The same out-and-up with comeback rule is run.
He illustrates the multiplicity of the concept and when run against looks that he shows is unstoppable when executed properly, Coach Kelley breaks down all of these examples in this video
Once more receivers are added to the sprint out, the possibilities of how to attack the defense expand. Coach Drinkall likes to incorporate some form of smash with one route attacking vertically and another route attacking the flat. He explains his outside concept in this video.
Many offenses utilize the Snag concept which allows for a quicker timing from dropback as well as multiplicity from the types of 3-man surface formations and personnel groups. Coach Marty loves the concept as part of his sprint-out attack. Like Drinkall mentions, it does create a type of smash concept with a high-low to stretch the defense and attack zone coverage. It also creates some natural traffic for defenders to negotiate which makes it a great man-beater as well. He explains it here.
Those are just a few examples of how concepts can be adapted to sprint out. The idea is to be efficient in teaching so that dropback and sprintout concepts do not need to be exclusive to one category. The carry-over will cut down teaching and allow for route technique to be perfected.
Using Sprint Out Situationally
It fits into any field zone and virtually any down and distance. Bill Walsh made a living on Sprint Right Option with his Hall of Fame quarterbacks Joe Montana and Steve Young. Sprint right option is still a play that can be seen at every level of football. Many times it is a play reserved for the goal line area because it creates rubs and allows receivers to get open in an area with reduced vertical space. (see diagram below):
Coach Kelley carries an entire menu for this area of the field. He shares his variations in this video.
Complimentary plays
In general, any effective concept in an offense warrants the use of complimentary plays. Defenses work hard to take away effective plays thus opening opportunities to use other plays to exploit the weaknesses the defense creates to stop a concept.
Coach Drinkall thinks about how movement affects a defensive back who has to stop the sprint out and he creates concepts to take advantage of that.
His first idea is to tag a double move which takes advantage of an overplay by the defensive back. When the defender is jumping a corner route, utilizing a corner-post allows for a big play opportunity. Remember, in his version of the sprint out, the QB sets his feet to throw, thus making this a viable option. It would be much more difficult on the run for the QB. He illustrates it in this diagram.
Compliments don’t have to be shot plays all of the time. Simply attacking the linebacker movement to the sprint out side creates opportunities for a short pass and run after catch with a drag or shallow.
In addition, throwback screens, sprint draws, and even trick plays can be built off of the sprint out concept.
Conclusion
Changing the launch point is a smart way to take away the effectiveness of pressure. Because it can incorporate the concepts used in dropback, it’s an efficient way to provide the offense multiplicity. With a little thought, even a small package can be developed for an offense to realize these benefits.
