Kristi, I'm a bit confused by your explanation. You say that she's gone from a 5 foot to a 5' 2" jumper to going nothing less than 5' 4" this year outdoors and...
the picture is of her jumping 5'7.....she has also gone 5'6 at a meet and has never been lower than 5'4 at any meet this year outdoors....last year her best...
If anyone has the know-how and is willing, I could really benefit from some sort of mock training schedule for a plan to peak next April-June. My goal for next...
Just an update....Kate finished off her season undefeated:) In the pouring rain and cold, she managed to win the Wisconsin Division 1 high jump title. She...

I just wanted to throw this out to the group and see if anyone had any ideas. 1.) does anyone know any other good ankle strengthening exercises I've done the...
When you say you can jump on it straight up and it's fine, but when you plant leaned away it hurts, leads me to believe that you are not planting your foot...
We talk to our athletes in terms of "expectations", "goals", and "dreams". A few years back we had a triple jumper that set a goal of jumping 43' at the...

hey kyley, how'd the ankle hold up during the championships and was it raining? Looking at the heights I'm guessing the weather wasn't that great? Keep...
I absolutely see your point about consistency, speed and all that stuff. but most jumpers i have seen do these are pretty consistent and their speed is usually...
Why? Because high jumpers are strange. They write things on their shoes, have pre-meet special meals, wear lucky socks, have more pre- jump routines than an...
