A Habit that started in high school that starts to go away towards the end of the video

​@@johnvpitta Yes, it’s noticeable that you raise your hands much less in the end) And habits like that are hard to break and scratching your foot before jumping doesn’t help either, you're probably working on this with a coach)) this movement really spoils your rhythm. and this one of the most important things in a jump. correct rhythm) you have excellent explosive jump! I think if you fix the technical "problems" you’ll be able to jump easily 2- 2.05 meters) good luck to you)

Ion think that’s d1

He probably has other events

Marquette is Division 1

@@johnvpitta what gpa did u have, and what other events

To be honest I just try to let my body rotate instead of forcing it.

good luck gang

Can you tell me how you increased your high jump by a foot. Like exercises, workouts, etc. I would also like to have such an increase as this will be my first time doing high jump(I'm a sophomore).

@@kags4506 Hi well it was lots of working out and the key was I switched from a right foot take off to the Left foot it was actually just kinda luck. Lots of squats. Lunges and plyometrics also I used to Skateboard a whole lot and went all over town pushing with the right foot. The key to great jumps is the approach consistent speed. Good luck if I can help in any other way please let me know.

@@stephanpace8678 ok thank you very much I will come here again if I have any questions and update you about my progress

@@kags4506 that would be awesome. Good luck.

@@stephanpace8678 so you shouldn’t speed up through the curve?

Around 14 years old (year 9)

@@CarsonKeppel impressive, good work champ

do you know any other workouts to increase height? and also what would jump roping do?

@@bryan_._randolph works your calves. Knowing what I know now 20 years later I would do a ton of kettlebell swings.

@@garnetnard4284 Similar story here, jumped 6'5 - 15 years ago - finished top 8 at state. Imagine if I had a better diet, training knowledge, etc back then. The only thing I did correctly was sleep. We only practiced 3-4 times my senior year because the weather was horrible. Coaching wasn't the best. Our track coaches were just reused football coaches, they didn't care. To top it off I broke my ankle a few months before the season.

@@stevenp9209 Ha....we never HAD a high jump coach :) We were just sent out to go "jump". The same goes for the running events as well...no coaching w/soever. We had metal bars that were triangular in shape and of course bent OUT of shape due to the misses :) We jumped into a sand pit using the Western Roll, and when the Fosbury Flop came around, the pit was nothing more than piles of foam scraps ;)

@@Kman. are you in your 70s?

Thanks!

I finally get to jump again for the first time in two years because of covid. Goal is 6’6 this year. Thanks for the feedback!

@@johnvpitta Good Luck John. Let's have another early video this year to see how the season starts out and then a few more later so we can follow your progress through the year.

Thanks!

I agree with this. The summer before my senior year I was squatting and jump roping but I was also sprinting to make sure I got a starting spot on the football team. I’m sure the sprints helped too.

Thanks!
