JUMPS COACH TRIPLE JUMP COACHING CLINIC - HOW TO COACH THE HOP

by John Shepherd

Description

In this video I show you how you can immediately change the way your triple jumpers hop and ultimately triple jump better.

The focus is on the take-off and the movement of the hopping leg. The aim is to pull the foot diagonally across from behind the body at take-off to infront of the body - with a thigh parallel to the ground position - in front of the hips.

If your jumpers do this then they will present their leg in the optimum way to transfer into the step phase and ultimately the jump.

I show you a drill that will teach your jumpers how to get the right take-off positions and hop movement. We then move onto implementing this in actual jumping. You will see the difference.

There are plenty of graphics in the video for you to focus on and these will allow you to fully understand just how to get your jumpers, hopping and ultimately jumping optimally.

As a coach who works across all levels from college level to international you can rest-assured that what you'll see does work. Indeed you will see this from the videos of some of my athletes implementing the techncial changes I reference.
