A comparison of takeoff plant position (relative to the COM) in the triple jump, long jump, and high jump...

What does Fly 10m improvement mean for athletes who don't hit max velocity during their sport? A lot. It means their computer is improving, communicating better, coordinating & firing faster. This alone allows greater potential in all athletic disciplines. One of many 🔑🔑🔑

Although not perfect, this is a good example of a high box depth jump. This shows a big eccentric overload while achieving excellent stiffness & short ground contact time.

After period of skipping variations we move toward more specific takeoff drills. This is a basic 1-stride continuous takeoff drill over low hurdles. Hurdle height & entry velocity will increase over time…

While Russian plyo videos are cool, adding complexity to plyos w/ barbells, vests, boxes, run-in steps etc is often unnecessary. Simple hopping, bounding, & vertical jump / landing variations work wonders. Be consistent w/ the important stuff & natural progressions will appear.

Periodization & progression is great & certainly necessary long-term. But, if your athlete is significantly improving during relatively general training phases, there is nothing wrong with repeating the phase. Progress with a purpose, progress for a reason.

The split-jerk catch position has great benefit to jumpers. But, w/ the jerk being such a limiting factor, a variation w/o the jerk is more viable for most. It enables higher loads, greater eccentric force, & is less reliant on technique.

To think a jumper needs a 3-4 month preparation period w/ an emphasis on general conditioning (200's, 300's, 6-12 rep weights, endurance plyos etc) all WITHOUT actual event work is craziness. Entire Federations believe this stuff. what are we doing!?

Jumps: Don’t over complicate it. Stick to basic principles. Specific to more specific. Static to dynamic. Double to single. Max strength to speed-strength. Accel to speed. Short approach to longer. Gradually shift ratios toward more specific but stay in touch w/ the foundation.

I get that drills / exercise variations have context & I get that maybe a particular athlete needs something that no one else needs... but...I feel like too many coaches are making stuff up just to be elaborate on social media. It really doesn’t have to be complicated.

Plyos are awesome & it’s great that they are becoming more popular among non track, basketball sports. But, from the videos I see, it seems many would benefit from slowing down a bit, going back a progression or two, & focusing more on posture, control, timing, technique etc.

Twitter... One week sprinting fast is essential, the next it’s all about sub max technique. One week max strength is essential, the next it will kill elasticity... 🤣 I’m not old but I feel for young coaches...

Relative strength helps you: Sprint faster, jump further, throw further, bound, skip, hop, cut, stop, start, handle unnatural movements & positions, tolerate sport specific asymmetric, stay healthy etc etc etc etc... etc. I’d say it’s quite important.

The easiest way to sell a program nowadays is to highlight fancy/unique drills & claim them to be an immediate difference maker…

Talented HS jumpers on a team. Coach describes training: - 2 mile runs 3-4 days a week during the fall. No jumping/ sprinting. Says he knows it wouldn’t work for all but that he’s developed several state jumpers so his system has been proven to work....
Me: Sigh...

does a really nice job here of “holding onto the takeoff” & pushing through the plant.

One of my top jumpers early on in our relationship told me how important heavy snatches were to him & that he must do them 2 days prior to competition. I never questioned it & it's worked like a charm. Buy-in & belief is very powerful. Be smart, but listen to your athletes!

Jumps: The basics…
- Improve max strength
- Train acceleration from day 1
- Train max v during the fall
- practice full approaches early
- Progress plyos gradually
- Practice the event often!
- Don’t overvalue general fitness
- Don’t overvalue drills

A special athlete can make a coach appear far better than they are.
Likewise a poor athlete can make a coach look worse than they are.
The truth generally lies in the percentage of athletes that improve across the talent spectrum.
