Very useful for the development of the correct technique is the proof of the departure from the various possible positions: prone, supine or collected. Then many exercises concern the development of the speed, the initial step and the balance in the starting phase.
Finally add the starting blocks, first only the front block, then both blocks trying to figure out how to exploit the push of the feet against the blocks.
