My goal on Friday is to get in the top three for high jump.

I plan on achieving this by jumping really high

Have you always wanted to jump as far as the professional long jumper but tried and just can’t do it. Then keep reading because I will share some tip on how to do it. I will teach you some run up skills some takeoff skills some flying skills and some landing skills. Long jump is when you have a 40 meter run up and then have to jump into a sand pit as far as you can go.

here is the first part that you will need to know. The run up. The runup is one of the most important parts of long jump. If you do not go fast enough you won’t fly through the air long enough to get a good length. But if you run too fast you won’t jump enough and you will be to close to the ground and land to erley. You will also need a good consistent rhythm. And when you come up to the block you need to be consistent and hit it in the right place every time you jump.all sprint techniques will apply to the approach of your jump. The last three steps are the most important. if they get right forward then it is bad. if the are right back that is bad you want it into the middle.so practise the last three steps the most. Your speed must be greatest at the board

The second component of long jump is the takeoff. The take of is very important to a good jump. For a good take of you should convert your power from running to jumping keeping most of your speed You need to spring hard off you leading leg. which usually is your dominant one. With your following leg you need to swing it violently through so you can swing you self forward. Flying is also important there is three techniques the hang which is when you hang in the air and just going. not the most efficient then the sail which is pretty good it is when you go through the air hips first. Then there is the hach hic which is the best you do a ringing motion in the air and land on both feet

Last but not least the landin. The landing is very important you land on both feet. try not to land falling backwards and don’t land with your hands behind you. remember they will measure from the furtherest thing to the start.

So you have learnt about the run up fas good rhythm. Then we have learn about the takeoff one foot jumps the other follows. We have also learnt about the flying wich is when you are in the air there are three techniques. Then the landing. Now with some of my fact you might be able to long jump better.
