I agree. For some reason it was just easier for me to start with my left foot, (I think a carry-over from long jump) so I took 11 strides. Most of the people...
You have to remember that the "corner" is NOT a pivot. Hence I argue against a "Plant" off of your outside foot. I believe someone in the forum said it best...
Hey Glen, I am having trouble understanding the concept of driving the knee and arms up and away when driving up in the high jump. Can you or anyone else give...

If I understand the question correctly... Driving the arms and lead leg up adds vertical inertia. You can do an experiment to see this. stand with all your...

Denis; You're absolutely right. What I wrote was somewhat confusing. The main point I wanted to make was that we have to be careful when we tell our jumpers...

A fear of the bar can be a horrible thing. A "fear" is something serious, and it will take a long time to get over it. On the other hand, worrying about the...
