Hi Aaron

 

As to takeoff distance - get someone to check your takeoff point, high point and landing point. Put a line through those and relate that to the angle at the end of the run. If the high point is over the bar you may not need to move that point.

You shouldn't really be

 

As to lifting in season - think more aboutshort approach work, light plyos, fast running and REST in season. To many people get hung up on weights far too early in their careers. Lifting kills spring.

Merry Christmas to all..

 

I'm currently starting my (true) freshman indoor season in college... I've started the season at 6'6 which is my PR, so I feel great about it so far, but am definently looking to go up, up, up...

 

My main problem now is adjusting to taking off from farther away from the bar, and being in the air longer.. and being able to maintain good form in that time span.

 

Any drills, lifting suggestions, or even just friendly advice from anybody that has made the transition from high school to college and/or higher heights where form matters more and more would be much appreciated.

 

Again, Merry Christmas to all!

The forum seems to have been unusually quiet in recent months but I am sure it will start to pick up again as the indoor season gets underway.

 

For now here's wishing our 1155 members a wonderful Christmas and hoping that you all have the best of success in the coming year, be you a competitor, coach or parent.
