1. How to Stop fouling in the horizontal Jumps
Andy Eggerth
Director of T&F/XC

2. Athlete Progressions Long Jump Bilal Abdullah- 0’ to 26’2.25”
Andre Dorsey- 22’10” to 25’10” (still going)
Josh Mulder- 0’ to 23’9.5” (still going)
Dayo Akindele- 23’1” to 24’3.5” as frosh
Greg Moxley- 20’9” to 23’2” (in 2 years)

Shae Barchue- 16’3” to 18’10.5”
Morgan Campbell- 18’2” to 19’7” (still going)

3. Athlete Progressions (part 2)
Triple Jump

Tyler Riberdy- 43’9” to 48’4”
Dayo Akindele- 23’1” to 24’3.5” as frosh
De’Von Johnson-38’5” to 40’8.75” (still going)
Abby Lazard- 38’8” to 39’6” in 4 months
Shae Barchue- 0’ to 37’2.5”

4. Training Design Compatible Rhythms Teach Starts/Accl -> Vmax
LJ vs. TJ
Acceleration Dev. Vs. Approaches
Teach Starts/Accl -> Vmax
Often Simultaneous
Then find the approach
Then refine the approach
Then Stabilize / Actualize the approach

5. Don’t be near sighted Be patient, it takes time
Develop general strength levels so they can achieve correct postures
Establish an acceptable level of mechanics before allowing them to compete

6. Importance of:
Start mechanics

7. Rollover Start

8. Importance of:
Acceleration mechanics

9. Acceleration

10. Importance of:
Optimal velocity mechanics

11. Optimal Velocity

12. Importance of:
3rd to last step

13. 3rd to last step

14. Importance of:
Penultimate

15. Penultimate

16. Take off

17. Finding the Approach How many steps? Rhythm Runs & Cueing intensity
Distribution
Rhythm Runs & Cueing intensity
Get helpers
Coach watches as others mark mid & TO
Watch from a distance

18. Refining the Approach Steering Targeting Self-discipline
EARLY!
Targeting
Different spot on
the board
Self-discipline
Bandwidth feedback
Summary Feedback

19. Actualizing the Approach
Change ups
Move back
Move forward
Into wind
With wind
Cross wind
Wet board
Long waits
Stop Talking

20. Posture Shin angles Grounding Strategies Optimal velocity mechanics
Big fouls vs. little fouls
Grounding Strategies
Instability is reflexive…no mater what!
Optimal velocity mechanics

21. When to Adjust? Behind the mid, on the board
Past the mid, on the board
Behind the mid, behind the board
Past the mid, behind the board
Behind the mid, over the board
Past the mid, past the board

22. What if you don’t have a mid mark?
Ever had the athlete who was 6 inches off, you move them and they’re still 6 inches off?

23. Common Problems WU on, 1st jump is 1’ behind board Wind
Got tense, lost pelvic oscillations
Reduced elastic energy / SL
Significance of SE work
Wind
2.0 wind = ~18” difference in approach length
Use 2 marks (calm mark / windy mark)
