Lesson 3:
Weekly Training Structure During Competitive Season
This segment delineates a weekly training framework designed for high school jumpers during the competitive season, considering the scheduling nuances of meets and the necessity of consistent training. The schedule outlines specific focus areas for each weekday, starting with speed-focused workouts on Mondays, integrating high jump drills for technique refinement. Tuesdays introduce more technical work, with a concentration on approach and shorter step techniques alongside strength training. Wednesdays prioritize speed endurance, preparing athletes for sustained performance during meets. Thursdays mirror Tuesdays in terms of technical work, with considerations for meet participation, potentially altering training volume based on athlete involvement. Fridays serve as a continuation of technical and strength development, allowing flexibility for athletes not competing on Saturdays to engage in full training sessions. The lesson emphasizes the importance of maintaining a balanced training regimen throughout the competitive season, with gradual adjustments made to accommodate meet schedules and athlete performance goals.
