Thanks for helping me last time with my 100 fly stroke, I did try to improve my kick by using my hips more but fell short to the State Cut after the Taper meet by 0.51s, the cut is 54.99 and I went 55.50 :(. I have my final chance this Thursday to make states and things are looking grim with stories of almost no one has ever made states off of last chance meet. After the fly cut was lowered this year from 55.39 to 54.99, many kids I know don't have the cut, so I will have plenty of competition. I would like to know what you do to prepare for a big meet and how to drop time in a short time frame. 0.51s is a lot of time but I know its doable, or it's possible. Here are some videos of my stroke, any tips or suggestions is welcome. Thank guys.

Start,streamlines,breakouts,turns,finish. Focusing on nailing these. Breathe early in your stroke and focus on having your forehead beat your hands back into the water and a good chest press. There seems to be a slight hesitation on your breathing stroke. You can't let breathing get in the way of your stroke tempo. Looks like you split it around 26,29. Don't go out any slower and tell yourself at the 50, that will will bring it home with everything you have.
Yah, I split 25.9 29.5 day 1 and 25.9 30.0 day 2
