In this video coach John Shepherd (http://www.johnshepherdfitness.com/blog) shows you how to work on your long take-off using low boxes to develop the required rhythm and movements. These drills and progressins can be used regardless of mid-air action the jumper uses. In the second part of the video John goes on to work with the young athlete on their hang action. Attention is paid to the sweep of the free-lag after take-off, correct arm positioning and the use of the arms for landing, to help lift the legs and prevent the heels from dropping. #howtolongjump #longjump #longjumphangtechnique #longjumptakeoff #how to do long jump #long jump drills #long jump training #track&field NEW VIDEOS MOST FRIDAYS DO SUBSCRIBE FOR EXCLUSIVE CONTENT If you are a coach interested in the Freelap timing system please contact me TRACK VALLEY CLOTHING DISCOUNT Track Valley reached out to Coach Shepherd to offer a discount on their athletic and streetwear T-shirts and hoodies and other great gear.
