Triple Jump Skills & Drills with Brad Hackett

Description

"Triple Jump Skills & Drills" is a deep, coach-focused exploration into one of track and field’s most technical and rewarding events. Coach Chad Gunnelson guides you through a full progression—starting with the foundational understanding of what makes a great triple jumper. From identifying ideal athlete profiles to breaking down the motor skills and athletic traits needed, the course builds a strong conceptual base. You’ll learn how to communicate effectively with athletes using clear and consistent cueing strategies, followed by a deep dive into teaching the approach run—from short approaches used in training to mastering full competition approaches with precision and consistency.

The course then shifts into the technical execution of the event’s three distinct phases. You’ll explore the hop, step, and jump in detail, with an emphasis on posture, ground contact, arm action, and rhythm. Practical teaching progressions and drills bring theory into application, helping athletes build phase awareness and fluidity. Coach Gunnelson also addresses common errors and correction strategies, seasonal planning, and training periodization to ensure athletes peak at the right time. Whether you're developing beginners or refining advanced jumpers, this course offers a full-spectrum approach grounded in experience, teaching clarity, and proven programming.
