Never before has there been a more complete drill video for the long jump! This presentation, featuring many of the best long jump coaches in the Championship Productions library, contains everything you need to begin or supplement your long jump training routine.

Approach Run Mechanics

Several drills are demonstrated that show how to train your athletes to develop proper approach run mechanics. One of the best drills is from Tom Tellez of the University of Houston, who demonstrates a series of drills where the athlete walks the approach before gradually building speed while focusing on proper sprint mechanics. Coach Tellez also demonstrates a series of drills that teach athletes the proper way to execute the penultimate stride and takeoff stride of the approach.

Takeoff, Flight, Landing

Several coaches demonstrate drills that teach athletes takeoff mechanics. One series is demonstrated by Tim Cawley, in which he and his athletes demonstrate drills using a ramp and landing pad. These drills teach athletes to shorten their last two strides naturally, and how to hold their drive knee high while taking out some of the fear a beginner may have in landing in the sand. Several drills are also shown by multiple coaches that teach proper flight mechanics and how to land for maximum efficiency and safety.

Strength and Conditioning

This video concludes with several event specific strength and conditioning drills that help the long jumper develop strength and reactive ability. Boo Schexnayder, one of the most respected track and field coaches in the country, demonstrates a special jump series and a medicine ball series that help athletes develop the necessary explosive power needed for the long jump.

If you are serious about helping your long jumpers reach the next level, this comprehensive drill video is a must have for your coaching library!
