About This Project
When I first tried high jump my junior year of high school I was almost instantly frustrated by the fact that I could dunk a basketball
in the gym but could only clear 5' at the track. Kids that seemed to have similar athletic abilities to mine
were jumping 5'8", 5'10", or 6' but no matter what my coach told me I didn't seem to improve. So I took it on myself
to figure out this sport. I studied every photo, video, and insight I could find and slowly at the start of my
senior year it came together. Over the course of 3 months I went from a PR of 5'4" to 6'6".
Aside from helping coach my local junior high track team, this site is where I share many of those
lessons to help every high jumper hopefully reach their potential.
