Reaction drills for starts?

I don't believe you can be a great starter without at least 5 starts per day. Doing at least 10 would be much better than 5. It would be much smarter to do start drills after warmup. Doing them at the end of practice as so often happens, means all the fast twitch muscles as depleted and tired. Starts and sprinting 25's should be done before a half hour runs out of workout. But that is not the way it usually works. If you have a pool that won't let you practice on the starting blocks, use the pool deck or grass. Get is a start position, CLOSE your eyes, and then have someone beep you. Then jump into the air straight up. Remember to listen to the sound with your eyes closed. The staring strobe flash is not for you Also at swim meets, before your race go and listen to the starter to listen to the beep in your mind, and listen to his cadence.
