Greetings / Salve,
I started my Track career at nine years old as a Triple Jumper, so the horizontal jumps has a special meaning to me. Because speed training is vital for jumpers, I also ran the 4x200m relay, then eventually became a specialist in the 400 meters.
The Long and Triple Jump doesn’t have the glory as compared to the 100 meters or the Mile, but the event requires the speed of a sprinter and superior explosive power. And like a fast car, it requires control at maximum speeds. Looking back, here were my top 3 issues, and I see these same problems coaching jumpers today:
If you have the luxury of a dedicated sprint coach specialist, or a jumps coach, great. Otherwise, most sprint coaches coach the hurdles or the horizontal jumps. Here’s how you can learn what you need to know to coach the jumps. If you’ve been to enough USATF and USTFCCCA clinics, you’ll recognize the name Irving “Boo” Schexnayder. His resume includes 19 NCAA Champions and 10 Olympians. His latest 4 DVD package is the most complete training course for the long and triple jump that I have come across. Each DVD is about 1 hour, and it covers:
The entire package is regularly $129, but you can get it on sale for $99 until Friday Midnight (October 21, 2011). (Each DVD has a retail price of $39.99) Both beginner coaches and advanced coaches will benefit from this package. >> Click here for Coach Schexnayder’s Complete Horizontal Jumps Training Program.
