I need help 3 stepping in the 100m hurdles?

Question

i'm pretty tall, 5'10, and i still can't seem to 3 step. i have a long stride and i'm athletic (i'm on varsity basketball and volleyball for my 3rd year and track for my 4th) but for some reason i still don;'t three step. if i practice the whole time on it i can get it for like the first four, but i can only do that like once a week, if that.

also if i run next to the hurdles i easly have three steps between them, with an extra foot too (because i'm not going over)

everyone else i know my height can do it easy... its natural

and four stepping feels VERY unnatural to me but idk why i still can't 3 step

PLEASE HELP

Answer 1

You are too timid. Attack the hurdle with recklessness. no reason why you cant do it

Answer 2

how's your flat 100 speed?  13, 14 or 15 seconds?  how do you run in between the hurdles?  are you running heel~toe or flat footed?  are actually running in between the hurdles or are you "loping"??? . . . the easier way to learn how to 3 step is to move the SECOND hurdle closer by the length of the bottom support of the the hurdle . . . when learning to 3 step, you must get your knees up and run on the balls of your feet and drive your arms ~ it's important to run and not LOPE in between . . .  loping is significantly slower than running and a loping stride is actually shorter than a running stride . . . once you feel comfy with 3 stepping the 2nd hurdle, move on to the 3rd . . . just remember that the 3rd hurdle must be moved up 2 lengths of the bottom support of the hurdle . . . good form is key to being able to 3 step and for someone your height, there is NO NEED TO LEAN OVER THE HURDLE  . . . just run over them and you need to be aggressive and attack the hurdle . . . good luck and feel free to contact me for further help
