FORCE PRODUCTION DRILLS - for Long Jump

Start with smaller boxes and no weight for the single leg depth drop. Then add weight and height as the athlete progresses

Build off the starting drill until your athlete can effectively produce more force on take off consistently

Hope this helps 🤗

Are you a hitch kick long jumper? If so, how those arms looking? 👀

I teach my hitch kick athletes to hold onto that block arm until their opposing arm is on its way up in the rotation. I find this keeps my athletes squared up in the air, gives them more time in the air, and helps time their landing out.

Hope this helps!

Long Jump Take Off

One of the best ways I have found to teach athletes how to take off properly in long jump. Aka get rid of the big steps or massive loading coming into the board.

Step 1: High Skips
Helps teach athletes to put force into the ground and block their arms and legs at 90

Step 2: Straight Shuffle + Take Off
Straight leg shuffle then hit a take off on jump leg. The straight leg shuffle automatically keeps athletes from taking a big step before jumping. Focus on keeping the jump leg straight once in the air. Will always LAND on the NON JUMP LEG

Step 3: Repeat Take Off
Light quick step on the non jump leg then hard plant on the jump leg. Make sure jump leg is straight in the air. This can be harder to get the rhythm on so it might be beneficial to have athletes walk it out first

Step 4: High Knee Run + Take Off
Have athletes come in with a form high knee run then hit their quick non jump leg step to hard jump leg plant. Again, HOLD in the air

Save and send to a jumper!
