Unread postby colby41 » Thu Sep 27, 2007 1:10 pm

well, I've been noticing a lack of "jump" in my take off when I would run from my longer steps, half is due to my striding oit at the end, but im sure my inability to vertical leap high is also part of it. Its really low... Haha. Anyone got spme suggestions on how i could get more powerful take off?? Any drills to help me improve my leap??

Then i can start jum some 19 foot poles and break the world record. LoL..jk bubka

Stick with your coach's fall training and you will be fine ;)
