Common misconception
Pupils focus on wanting to go first in their team as opposed to their running technique. Pupils think success is all about winning.
Give each pupil a number and rotate who goes first to avoid the distraction. Challenge pupils to improve their own team's time instead of racing others to reinforce the point.
