5 MUST DO LONG JUMP TAKE-OFF DRILLS

5 Long Jump Take-off drills
Video Time-line
0.00: Intro
0.06min: Drill 1
Step-swing Drill
Performed at beyond walking pace. Drive the hip to drive the drill
This drill teaches you the importance of the hip swing.
Make sure you drive the hip forwards and up.
0.20min: Drill 2
Step-swing Drill V2 Faster Pace
This also has more emphasis on the foot contact.
0.50min: Drill 3
Alternate Hip Swing
Again it’s all about driving the free-leg forwards and up, but in this case both. Work the foot into each contact too.
0.50min: Drill 4 Free leg Landing Drill
I use this drill a lot. Swing the hip, take-off, hold, land, take a step and repeat.
Step quickly between each take-off
1.54min: Drill 5 Free-leg landing with target
The jumper tries to jump higher by aiming at a target. This is the hand of a partner jumper, who has to back pedal as the drill is performed. You’ll see how in the video.
2.56min: Hip swing is vital for sprinting as well
3.02min: Putting the drills into a session
The five drills normally form part of a workout which will also include run-ups and technique work at the pit.
3.23min: When?
I explain when the drills are done.
We try to get more and more specific as the season approaches.
3.50min: Any questions and summing up

[@CBig2012]

Fantastic drill John ! Thanks for sharing.

[@jz5005]

Awesome!

[@totallyraw1313]

Hi John, happy new year!

[@Johnshepherdtrackcoach]

And the same for you and trust all is well

[@totallyraw1313]

@Johnshepherdtrackcoach Thanks, John. Unfortunately, I have an almost complete tear of the posterior horn of the medial meniscus. Have you ever come across anyone who has fully recovered from this injury without surgery?

[@abrahammk]

I am 66 years old and actively participate in athletics..I suffered median miniscus tear a year back...I took complete break from all sports activities for six months and now I am back into track and doing well . 4:41 ​@@totallyraw1313

[@abrahammk]

Sir, I am a senior person competing in masters athletic events..confused about placing the foot during take off...is it the heel to hit first? pl explain correct approach..thanks..

[@Johnshepherdtrackcoach]

Yes the heel should lead the contact but it should not be too pronounced. It’s best to think of the position as flat footed. The last two steps should infant be flat-flat. I hope this helps and good luck

[@mdnayeemislam8375]

Trying trying & trying but failed to touch 7m.. 😭😭😭

[@Johnshepherdtrackcoach]

You’ll get there - keep working on speed and take-off and you can’t go too far wrong.

[@mdnayeemislam8375]

My speed is good enough.... I think im struggling with my take off...🥺🥺 Last year i archived bronze meddle but unfortunately im struggling too much this year... And my competition is knocking in my door....😭

Long jump

[@arunvj8274]

I have passed police exam and i try long jump for physical examination 4.5 meter... Hardly trying but failed 😥😥

[@mdnayeemislam8375]

4.5 m is very simple but i think you're physically not enough good... That's why it happened... You have to reduce your body and try to be fit.

[@mdnayeemislam8375]

Never lose hope... Keep trying and get success 🫡

[@arunvj8274]

Only 30 days to go for physical examination..
