INGREDIENTS FOR SUCCESS
• Combination of:
– Speed
– Power
– Agility
• Mental:
– Self Confidence
– Willing to Challenge
– Controlled reckless abandonment
Objective
• To utilize runway speed and rhythmic
sequence of the hop, step, and jump for
maximum distance.
Phases
• Approach
• Take off and hop
• Step
• Jump
Approach
• Maximum controlled speed
– High knees – even stride length
– Relaxed and erect
– Last stride to board remains consistent no
penultimate step
– Run off the board
Approach Run
• Length of approach
– Use take offs to determine length
• From 6 to 10 takes offs depending on experience
– No wasted energy – dying into the board
– Establishing start point
• Start from the board and run back
– Check marks on the runway only for
experienced jumpers
– When steps are established do many run
thrus to eliminate “Board Consciousness”
Take Off and Hop
•
•
•
•
Strides remain consistent into the board
Slightly heel-toe position on the board
Weight drives over take off leg
Drive lead knee vigorously out towards end of pit and
works as a pump into the step phase
• Arms work as if running off the board
• Shoulders, chest, and head up
– Keep square
– Eyes focused straight ahead
• Take off leg cycles under hips
• As in the take off work for a slightly heel to toe foot
position
– Clawing action with foot on ground contact

– Fight the urge to throw your head back at take off of
jump phase
• Landing
– Want maximum extension
• Before touch down bring chest toward thighs with
toes up
• Heels touch first
• Land with legs straight out, knees slightly bent
• Feet are spread only 6” to 8” apart for balance
• Arms and upper body drive towards end of pit
• Chest “folds” forward over legs as in diving with
arms vigorously driving back
