@loneguitar14 Are you aware that many people consider him to be one of the smartest track coaches of all time and one who has revolutionized the long jump and sprints through his understanding of science.
@HPCsport i didn't really understand why that guy said the guy needs to learn some physics, i didn't see anything wrong, but a good understanding of physics will help you, also i forgot that this is for long jump, i was thinking this was for like shot distance running like 100m(since he referenced carl lewis, but than i remembered he did long jump, high jump, all the jumps)
@HPCsport That's why there's such a big difference between a foam sole (running shoe) and a flat/rigid sole (basketball shoes). Whenever I hear people recommending basketball shoes "to jump into" on a basketball court I feel like puking.
Not necessarily, basically you build up speed on the runway, then it's cadence (even and fast flowing running) for the last 8 or so strides but the last step should be shorter by approximately 10% of full length running stride (for top athlete's).
@asianrapper209 You should roll through the penultimate step with no deceleration. The steps may sound fast but should not be stomping.
so the penultimate is longest and the last stride should be shortest?

does this help your vertical if your wanting to dunk.
this is good. i hate people who say you need to paw off the board
This is an excellent video, he's absolutely right about everything he says.
Is the takeoff step supposed to be flat as well or on the ball of the foot as if sprinting?
@asianrapper209 Most of the time yes but there are other ways in which you can accomplish the same goal.

@snizshizzle It should be flat footed or heel-to-toe rolling action
@jumptothemacs It should also be flat.
