good stuff @Bonesaw . But the big question is......how do you teach it? Do you tell kids to have their hammy suck back their knee? We can call it whatever we want and I am not knocking you at all but please elaborate on how this would be taught. I really do think you have some potentially good points but "how do you teach it" "what do you say". Pointing out what is happending and calling it something and actually teaching it is quite different. Again, not a knock, but how do you teach it and what do you say? This COULD be a big help if others want to listen or walk away..

Good question! The running mechanics are a good start. Feel like your kicking that foot out and then sucking back under to the max!
I've had some good success with a young DD. Here she is "pulling back" (at least that whats she says!).
My thing is I have seen girls working on this and "hopping" on the finish. I think that is the wrong way to do it.
I found this in the stickies. I think this is not a good example of how it should work(no offense to anyone it is very hard)
This is quad pushing/jumping
Edit: The easiest way to feel this is to stand up and put your stride foot out in front while being upright with your torso. Then try to drag your stride foot back underneath you! Watch watch happens to your butt, hammies and torso.
