Long Jump: run at about 7/8 speed. Settle down so that your center of gravity drops a little on your next to last step. Drive your knee and arm up, not out toward the pit. When you land bring your arms back, and as you settle into the sand bring the arms forward so you will not fall back.Triple: The biggest mistake most people make is their first phase is too long. What is your distance? Try to limit the first phase to 1/3 that distance, so you do not lose all of your forward motion and spring. Stay low, because if you jump high then when you come down you will collapse and not be able to jump far on the next phase. Paw the ground with your foot, do not block and then try to jump into the next phase. Work your arms so that you take big steps.
Anyone have good tips for the triple jump?
Triple Jump tip - Improve the STEP part of your jump. This will help you with improving your distance. If you are currently stepping 12 feet, try to improve so that you increast to 13 or 14 feet. You will need to practice your hop and step more each day. You will need to balance yourself while maintaining your speed to continue into your jump, however first you will need to learn to increase your step. In high school I went from a 46'0 jumper to a 49'0, just by working on my steps.Making Varsity Cross Country Team?
