Hello guys, This has been a great forum.. i have learned a lot from online forums than i have ever learned from any coach. I have a question.. i understand...
I'm a 16 year old decathlete and I'm having some slight problems with high jump. As I'm coming off the bar, I notice that I drop my butt down to lift my legs...
Is it safe for me to assume this is Curtis Beach who PR'd by almost 300 pts. in the Jr. Olympics decathlon last summer after attending my camp? You know that...
Bayo, Congrats on the big jump. Were you under the impression that the bar was actually at 7ft? Did the officials screw you on the measurement? I bet you won't...
yo dwight, i got the height to clear 6'4 but i just dont know, either my but hits sumtin or im not there mentally, at my last track meet b4 we started jumping...
Thank you so much Coach Dwight.. Everything that you explain makes a lot of sense.. i am going to try to work on it..but i probably wouldnt start doing that...
My main question pertaining to coming off the bar would be, are you knocking it off when you are coming off it? because if your shoulders are still high and...
Yes, that's me. And it was actually more than 300 points too. I don't know if I'll be at the camp yet because I'm still waiting to see if I made it to this...
OK, My son needs help. Last year in the eighth grade my son cleared 5'10" and won district. Early this year at a practice meet he cleared 6'. The first real...
A few questions. How long is his run up? Does he increase speed towards bar? What is he knocking bar off with? Has he had a hard winter/weight training? does...

I think it is 15 steps? He does not increase speed when he approaches. The day I saw him jump he knocked off the bar with his rear, landed on it, and leaned...
15????? Far too long i would suggest between 7 and 9 thats what i work on, i think 15 is far too far, the father you run the more can go wrong in my opinion. ...
By lean i mean does he lean the correct way sounds daft but sum _hj_ (mailto:hj@s) 's ive seen actually lean the wrong way (into the bar), think of his ...
I think you're right, I've been having a little bit of problems with my timing. Either I kick too soon and hit the bar with my butt, or too late and hit it...

Curtis, With regard to hitting the bar with lower body, you might take a look at my recent posts in the thread called "Changes?". My ID is "HighJumpCoach". ...
