During the college pre-season, what does your workout schedule look like? I played d1 college b-ball and we would have lift 3x a week, condition 3x a week, and then team practice mon-fri prior to or following those workouts? Im interested in the training difference between sports
As a jumper do you lot of long distance sprinting workout like 200,400, 800 or do you just do short distance sprints. I don’t know how to describe it hopefully that makes sense
Jumpers should train like sprinters, speed is definitely an important factor on the runway for jumpers. I used to be a distance runner, when i started jumping I had zero speed or turnover. Definitely train for speed as a jumper, short sprint drills to develop speed is definitely key focus. You can once in a while do the longer distances just to stay in shape, but speed and sprints should definitely be the focus. Hope this helps
You’ve quickly become one of my favorites to watch as a young triple jumper and I love your content. I’m at 41ft as my PR as a sophomore and I had a question on how you keep your upper body posture and about your active striking. Can you explain those to me?. Thanks man keep up the work.
I was jumping 41ft sophomore year too hahaha, as for keeping upper body posture tall, that's something you're going to have to fix with constant practice. You have to be aware of it at practice till it's automatic.Keeping your core strong and hips locked in the right position can help. However, you have to build an awareness of it by practice and repetition. Remind yourself to "Keep torso tall" every rep at practice till it's automatic. As for active striking on the ground, keep your toes dorsiflexed that usually helps. Hopefully this was helpful, lemme know
Start with strong powerful pushes then progressively turn over as you get to the board, most people usually rush the drive phase or don't even have one. But yeah pushes from the start helps with that
I'd say that comes with time, a lot of practice and getting used to the technique.Then you will begin to notice that you'll develop a certain level of awareness during your jumps. It's a really cool feeling it's like you're so in tune with yourself then everything starts to feel automatic. That's where I'm currently trying to get back to cuz I've felt it before. But yeah it comes with time you just have to be patient and consistent :)
