Alright, so I just sort of stumbled across this and I have to say I'm
really excited. I'm a Junior in High School and I adore high jump. I
went to State last year and I have to say that I realized I got there
purely on luck and a lot of praying to God apparently... I didn't have
high jump shoes, I measured my approach out in feet (literally one foot
in front of the other) instead of a tape measure... And my coach
basically abandons me.

So my Mom promised to get high jump shoes and I have no idea if any are
better than the other. Any help on that or just general ideas of how to
get into shape for the '07 Track season would be great.
