5 Long Jump Take-off drills
Video Time-line
0.00: Intro
0.06min: Drill 1
Step-swing Drill
Performed at beyond walking pace. Drive the hip to drive the drill
This drill teaches you the importance of the hip swing.
Make sure you drive the hip forwards and up.
0.20min: Drill 2
Step-swing Drill V2 Faster Pace
This also has more emphasis on the foot contact.
0.50min: Drill 3
Alternate Hip Swing
Again it’s all about driving the free-leg forwards and up, but in this case both. Work the foot into each contact too.
0.50min: Drill 4 Free leg Landing Drill
I use this drill a lot. Swing the hip, take-off, hold, land, take a step and repeat.
Step quickly between each take-off
1.54min: Drill 5 Free-leg landing with target
The jumper tries to jump higher by aiming at a target. This is the hand of a partner jumper, who has to back pedal as the drill is performed. You’ll see how in the video.
2.56min: Hip swing is vital for sprinting as well
3.02min: Putting the drills into a session
The five drills normally form part of a workout which will also include run-ups and technique work at the pit.
3.23min: When?
I explain when the drills are done.
We try to get more and more specific as the season approaches.
3.50min: Any questions and summing up
