This course is the product of almost 20 years of making mistakes and learning from them while developing long jumpers. It's a deep dive into some of my core beliefs in what I believe produces elite long jump performances. It's not a general talk, but highly specific more nuanced one. It's my sincere hope this course triggers your own creative thinking about methods to bleed more speed into the approach to maximize long jump potential.
