- Too much volume, not enough rest. Sprint work needs 3–5 minutes between reps to keep quality.
- Skipping the acceleration drills — wall drives, A-skips, push-up starts.
- Always running 100% effort. 95% with perfect form > 100% with breakdown.
- No real warmup. 15–20 minutes minimum before any speed work.
- Ignoring the posterior chain. Glutes and hamstrings are the engine.
