How can i get really good at hurdles for track?

I do track and my event is hurdles. I'm alright, I've been doin it for the past 2 years. I want to be really good this year for indoor and outdoor. Any advise.|||just keep ur confidence up and just keep on practicing till u actually know ur ready and just run for first place.|||Practice drills several days each week.


Set up the hurdles and walk over them keeping your lead knee high and bringing your trail leg over with good arm motion.





Hurdling is a rote muscle response.


You can not think about your technique when you are running, you must be able to perform the motion while running at top speed.





Work on hip flexibility, cadence, and body control





When you are walking or easy running on your drills set the hurdles close together, not at their normal spacing, and lower than usual.





Lift weights, do plyometric exercises, run stairs or stadium bleachers.





Get stronger, because sprinting is a power event, and hurdle races are sprinting over barriers.
