LONG JUMP HUGE DISTANCES - IT'S WHAT YOU DO BEFORE TAKE-OFF!

In this video I take a look at the specific make-up of the last three long jump run-up steps and how to get the most from them. This is a very specific skill and I use Miltiadis Tentoglu as an exemplar together with one of my jumpers (17-year-old Bora from Hungary) to explain what to do.
Video Time-line
0.00min: Intro
Elite long jumpers do something very specific on the last three steps
0.14min A look at Miltiadis Tentogolu... study the stills
0.41min: It's all to do with speed transfer
And the requirement to produce horizontal and vertical velocity at the point of take-off.
Being able to do that is what sets apart a great long jumper from a sprinter who jumps
1.10min: How one of the jumpers in my group 17-year-old Bora has learnt how to get the required take-off
1.30min: A study of the last 3 steps
1.58min: This "sets the jump"
I talk about foot positions
Rhythm is crucial
2.38min: Movement from step 3 to step 2
Step quickly and deliberately
3.05min: Drills which can be used to develop the last 3 steps
3.22min: The importance of eccentric strength
3.33min: Changing from a long and slow last stride - it can be done
3.53min: So take a really good look when you see elite jumpers in action and see what they do - that's really see!
4.07min: Positive response to hurdles videos
4.14min: Antepes Muscle Runners - the trainer that thinks it's a spike

Awesome content as always, Coach Shep! 👏

[@stevespyder]

similar to the way a basketball player takes off, even though it appears like they are putting on the brakes by stepping ahead of the body, the speed loads up and as you say transfers to the foot for a higher vertical. it's a balance between vertical and horizontal speed.
