[@sidney1234usc]

Please remake this video cuz I'm trying to teach my long jumpers and I need tips And since it's so windy I can't even really hear you

[@JumpersUniversity]

I just got a wireless mic so il try to use it to make more videos that will be clearer in the future. Sorry about the audio quality.

@@JumpersUniversity ok great your videos help me coach my team lol

[@ok1nawab0y]

How far is the mat placed? And how far is the last hurdle before the mat?

[@JumpersUniversity]

Between mats is 4paces (so about 12ft) and hurdles were 10paces from the purple I believe (about 30ft)

[@ok1nawab0y]

Awesome thank you. And between each hurdle I’m going to guess about 6ft apart each? Also How would you adjust this drill for high school girls?

[@JumpersUniversity]

@@ok1nawab0y yes, and I would just shift it in slightly depending on their speed and skill level. Remind the athletes that it’s not so much about them getting their feet to land perfectly on the mat, it’s about setting up proper body position and eye placement coming into the takeoff. My college girls also were doing this with the males and I just kept it at the same setup. Sometimes they were on sometimes they went but they used the first mat to set them selves up and get into proper position.
