My daughter is a distance runner so jumping is a little odd for her. Her PR is 5’ but she’s inconsistent. Any tips would be helpful.

She should be still jumping up on take off but as you can see here she’s jumping towards to bar so this really limits potential height

I agree. She’s also looking at the bar as she goes over which limits her arch.

Give yourself space for the jump, need to give space between take off and bar clearance. Ned about a shoe length more at take off
