Have fun and good luck!!

That's great! We'll be posting a few more high jump videos during the season that should help. Good luck this season!

Your in highschool now. What's the new PR?

A good first step would be to figure out which leg he is most comfortable jumping off of. It is typically the one that is the most coordinated. From there it's a lot of repetitions to build the mind-muscle connection and neuro pathways. Here is a link to a video that goes over the takeoff and rotation over the bar kzfaq.info/get/bejne/jqunmtyr3tS2Z6s.html. We'll be posting more videos that cover figuring out which leg to jump off of as well as the value of non-dominant training (practicing jumping off of the other leg).

Many many thanks

Yes 😊

Yes there will, hopefully 1 or 2 more this season.

XPOLY ok thanks

You'll get there

@@AnthonyVargo69 5.4 in 7th grade?

@@thenickname6234 yea I jump 5,8 now

Difficult to say however given the fact that you can clear over 6' with a backer and you just started means you have great potential and natural ability. With the right training 7' + is a possibility.

Back over drills are a perfect place for you to start. Try following the tips in the video and see what happens after a few weeks.

Thanks for the comment Kate. You are correct, there are a ton of videos out there that cost less than our courses and if you still prefer to watch content on DVD our courses would not be a good fit for you. Our approach to creating these master classes is to provide a complete experience for the student. This means investing a considerable amount of time and money producing each course. We also believe that coaches should be compensated fairly. The amount of information and work put in by the instructors to deliver ~ 2 full hours of their best content simply wouldn't work if we mass produced courses and charged 20 to 30 bucks. As with most things out there, price is a good indication of value and our goal is to deliver the best possible learning experience.

Focus on the fundamentals and performing drills correctly to develop solid technique vs bad habits. Most importantly work hard and enjoy the sport and the results will take care of themselves.

Shin splints are tricky and can be caused by many things. Here are a few quick tips: 1. Make sure you are running properly. Check out this video we did on sprint mechanics (the drills apply to high jump as well) kzfaq.info/get/bejne/ba6Yp9ipqtuXnok.html Landing on your toes or having a hard heel strike can definitely cause shin splints. 2. Avoid taking too many jumps and/or not giving yourself enough recovery time in between workouts. Increase training volume slowly. 3. Walking on your heels and doing toe raises during warm-up can help. 4. If you are doing plyometrics you can perform a lot of them on the grass instead of the track which will reduce the impact stress. 5. Make sure your running shoes and high jump shoes are in good condition, fit properly and give you the right stability/support.

Try using compression tape. It’s helped me every meet

Low reps and focus on weight training if you are old enough. More explosive power, running your curve will only help form.

That's a great start, high school athletes can make big improvements year over year so keep at it!

Hi TiN - 6' 2" is a solid jump for your age. The best advice I can give without seeing your jump is to be patient, trust that you will continue to grow and get stronger, dedicate the time to training and educating yourself and most important have fun with the sport. Many jumpers don't hit their peak until they are seniors in college or even beyond.

That is common for a lot of athletes. Work on drills that develop single leg strength. Check out our guide on high jump drills, here is a link to the section on single leg power outperformsports.com/high-jump-workouts/#toc-13338444-2

because you're 11

First Name Last Name 😂

true, you shouldn't jump on to legs ever :) although I don't really know what that means
