Okay group, time for another "plug" for this summer's "On The Road" Track & Field Camp in Medford, NJ. All the details you need concerning the camp can be...
Thank you Ed, the advantageathletics link was really helpful in my search for training equipment. long story but basicall, the 'Sports and Societies Officer'...
that camp gets you fired up about High Jump for at least 10 months. Best experience ever. If you can't go, but have the chance to see Paul Souza speak some...
We are preparing for the Conference Meet. I have three Hi Jumpers that when they are over the bar, their lower legs are under the bar with their heels about to...
Maybe show them photo's and films of jumpers who always point the lower legs to the ground, that is that they have their lower legs vertical as long as...
I agree with Weia. Sometimes jumpers try to do too much in the air when they should pay a bit more attention to what happens before and at the moment they...
Is it your suggestion that maybe they need a shorter radius of curve to speed rotation weiareinboud <atalanta@...> wrote:Maybe show them photo's and...
In my mind it's not that technical. I would try telling them to try to relax more in the air, and try not to be too active in attaining a big arch. ... to...
Not really. It is possible that more rotation is needed, but in that case mostly the radius isn't the problem but the last strides where the jumper comes...
I have a girl who is in a real slump. She has been right around 4'8" most of the season. But for the last three or four meets (over the last 2 weeks or so) she...
Its a little late to do a rebuild at this time of the season but two ideas to try are: 1-Get her to take some training jumps focussing on pushing and holding...

I agree with what Coach Doyle said -- little late for any big changes. You run the risk of taking two steps back without enough time to move forward from...
You most likely will be aware already of the following points I also see in the picture. 1 swing leg action seems to be parallel of the bar. I would ask her to...
I've recently developed lower back pain, but only on the right side of my lower back. I plant with my right foot, and 2 weeks ago I started using the "lead...
... same since. I was jumping at 5'10'' and really trying to exaggerate the arch and my back cracked in flight and has been hurting since then. I went to the...
Could be one of many things - a tight multifidus, tight glutes, tight TFL, weak TA, muscle imbalance left to right side, lordosis, scoliosis - the list goes on...

Observations Take off foot alignment is good. The heel position indicates that she is in mid to late takeoff stance. Unfortunately the c of g appears to be...

This is pretty much what my interpretation was. However, your first comment was what concerned me when I was reading the rules. For elite level and even...
OK you did ask about IAAF rules BUT as to my opinion: There is nothing wrong with modifying the rules to make it a better experience for the youngsters. We now...
