Jackie Joyner-Kersee, one of the greatest Olympic athletes ever, teaches a Wall Street Journal reporter how to properly do the long jump. Well, she tries to, at least.

I love long jump and I've only done it for one season with no coaching, I'm watched it a lot of videos in the off season to get better, last year in 7th grade my best was 16'3" and I never was beat by an seventh grader and I played up in eighth grade meets. It was like 6th best in school history, and I guess my school is really bad at long jump because our record is like 17'10" for a seventh grader, and the record for some of them in other countries is over 20 feet, next season I'm hoping to break the record of 19'10" for an eighth grader. Looking back at my form last year I was completely botching it and still doing ok. The problem is our pit is only about 20 feet so if I break the record during practice or a game meet I may also break my tailbone

@Faelocity 10 жыл бұрын

If you are doing long distance you are building slow twitch muscle fibers in your body. Long jump requires explosiveness and power. You will want to build fast twitch muscle fibers. Short sprint workouts, interval training (Ex. 5*200m), short sprint hill runs, will all help you with your long jump training.

@moople2 10 жыл бұрын

Lulu - Josh is absolutely right. But you don't need to make up your own workouts. Just talk to coach, and if you're not scoring pts for the team in distance, he/she should encourage you to try a new set of events. As your muscles slowly adapt from distance to sprints, you LJ distances WILL improve. I thought I'd be a high-jumper in middle school, but my step-father insisted that a 5'3" little guy would do better in LJ. My advantage is that I had very fast twitch muscles. In the end, as a senior in HS, I was 5'5" and jumped 21'1"

@moople2 10 жыл бұрын

Sorry this is so long, and I couldn't figure out how to get it in one shot. So the easy way to give yourself more time to adjust to this short time is to practice in phases (takeoff, hang/hitch kick, and landing). BUT what I'm shocked that Jackie didn't teach that guy was to GET HEIGHT! Fast twitch muscles along with step-up drills, develop what we called "ups," and that was my key to success. The higher your jump develops (don't force it), the more time you have in the air, and the more time your brain has to calculate what it needs to to naturally execute your jump as perfectly as possible. If you hit the board just right, it literally feels like flying! Good luck to you, and I hope if you decide to sprint and jump, you will have nothing but success!
