Poster: ye olde scholar
Subject: RE: Improving stride length of sprinter
Body:

stride extension comes from DRIVE, not REACH. I'll echo the cautions of other posters: the first thing kids want to do when you tell them to extend their stride is REACHING FORWARD with the leg, moving the shin past perpendicular with the ground. Instead focus on driving off more from the ground, getting full extension through the hip, knee, and ankle. short strides "chop" off that full extension and rob you of power.
