I am currently a freshman who is going out for track and I really have a strong passion for the 400m, the 800m, and hurdles. I decided I want to try the 400m hurdles even though I haven't even jumped a hurdle for about 2 years now because COVID caused our season to get cancelled. The head coach really wants me to do 400m hurdles because our team needs more and I really want to do them as well, but I am super nervous I will freeze up and not be able to do them, or that I won't be good at it especially because I am pretty injury prone. Does anyone have any tips on how to not freeze up in case I end up having "The fear of hurdles" again. Also, I would really like some tips for the 400m hurdles (if you do any extra training that helps, stretches that could help, anything will do). Please let me know what you all may have found works for you or people you know so I have some things that I could turn to for help.
