In order to increase your sprints you have to work hard, be dedicated, be determined, and listen to what my this is about!! 

Proper Posture. It's very important to have good posture at all times especially when running. If your not standing correctly, straight,or swinging your arms side to side when your running this May be slowing your speed down. Also if you work out your arms, chest, gluts, etc..., but don't work your legs it can also give you bad posture which can slow you down.

Speed Work. You won't be able to run faster if you practice running slow. You have to be practicing to run fast in order to get faster. If you want to sprint faster work on sprints and high intense running rather the a lot of condition and endurance.
