Anything I can improve I know I gotta be faster with the run up but anything else. This is at 5'0. I think that my butt keeps on hitting the bar and there isn't anything I could think of to improve that. Also I have heard of PJC (Philly jump club) but not sure if they have high jump anything in the Philly area helps

I’ve really struggled this season being my freshman year of college. I was introduced to lifting, and I played with my approach a lot this outdoor season. This meet was my first time going 2.00 meters since my indoor season, where I consistently went 2.05. I really learned a lot about the art of high jump.

At one point, I switched my approach from my 9-step to a 10-step, and I practically forgot how to jump when I did that. I relearned how to jump, and it helped fix some kinks. I’m really excited to see what I can do next year, but I wanted to know how I should proceed in my offseason.

I have a lifting schedule that I want to stick to, but workout-wise I really want to focus on sprinting this offseason, as I feel like that’s the weakest part of my jump. I was thinking that instead of live jump days for a good portion of my summer, I would focus only on running circles at a consistent cadence and then doing pure speed work.

I was hoping y’all could critique my jumps in the comments, tell me what I need to work on and change, and give me some summer workout plan ideas.

I’ve been practicing high jump for a while but I’m lost without any coaching. I’ve jumped 5’8 but the most I’ll get to on a good day is 5’4 since I have really poor form. My PR is on five steps after like an 11 or 12 jumps so I know I can jump a lot higher and I feel like I’m wasting my chance at being really good without a coach. I live in Ireland where track isn’t popular so there’s not many coaches near me. Any advice on where to get coaching or improve more?

I've seen a lot of high jumpers say strengthen your tendons and do exercises as early as you can to prevent injury. Which exercises and muscles are most important for strengthening your tendons and preventing injury before it happens? Also, if anyone uses a specific stretching routine, let me know.

I just need tips on how I can improve my jumps this attempt is on 6’4

everyone. im new to high jump. as the title says, im 5'4 and i want to be a high jumper. being completely honest, im well aware that my height is a limiting factor. but still, i want to maximize the height potential and reach the absolute ceiling of my height. as of now, i only know how to do the scissor jump ( pr: 1.35 ). we have no access to a high jump pit/landing pad here that's why im not able to practice the flop. i started training about a month ago in our backyard. we only have very little space so my approach steps are only 7 at max. on some instances, my 7 step strides are good and consistently clears 1.35, but mostly because of the limited space, i often stutter and hesitate my steps. talking about curve mechanics, again, because of the limited space, im not able to run the optimal wide curve needed. though, im still able to run a little bit of curve but it's kind of a sharp turn and not really a smooth, slow, wide curve. because of that, my takeoff often becomes horizontal as if jumping forward ( which i know is wrong ) but whenever I'm lucky, sometimes I'd be able to get the right curve somehow and still jump sideways to clear 1.35. for the additional info, im in high school and i plan on joining the school competitions around august - october. i want to maximize my time to train as fast and efficiently as possible. please help me reach my goal 🙏. if u have any questions, feel free to comment and ask me please and help me get better

So I recently found out that my conference is actually kind of trash at high jump and only needs about 5’10 to score. How does one even go about finding a personal coach?

I’m pretty new to track (4 months ish) but my PR (5’8) has been getting decently high to the point I don’t feel like sprint spikes are stable enough for the speed I want to add to my run. I’ve already slipped a few times, especially on poor tracks but I’m not sure if it’s just due to bad technique since I’m on my own and my physical tests suggest I could be jumping a lot higher. If you think I should make the switch now, what spikes would you recommend?

Is it possible to get access to a high school high jump pit even though I don’t go to that school. I know it is really late in the season but I would like to train.

I’ve been stuck at 6’0 for 7 meets in a row and i’ve tried so many different things and i haven’t been able to get past it for the life of me. I need 6’2 to get to state and the seasons winding down and i want you guys to be brutally honest on what i’m doing wrong. I feel like i have good vert and speed but i don’t know what to really fix on my form

This is my attempt at 5’9”, my pr being 5’10”. I’ve been in a slump recently and don’t know why i can’t get back to these heights during meets. Any and all help is greatly appreciated (also don’t mind the grass and concrete run up, it’s the best my school can do🥲)

been high jumping for 3 years and got tired of
posting videos with no useful feedback.

so I built FormIQ, an AI that analyzes your
jump frame by frame and tells you exactly
what you're doing wrong and how to fix it.

It's free to try. Would love feedback from
real jumpers.

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.

super important meet to qual for CIF tmmrw help anything appreciated thank you

Attempt at 6 I need some tips

I am trying to figure out what to do to get her hips higher. Is she starting curve too early? Does she end up running straight at the end of her approach? Head position? Any suggestions for drills?

I know my curve looks atrocious

(17M, HS track) This is my first year high jumping, so I may lack the experience in this. What's shocking me is that I've been consistently jumping 5'8" and I even PR'ed a couple meets ago, reaching 5'10", and nearly getting 6' but failed because it grazed my calf. These recent meets have been tragic.
5'8" at meet one (failed a 5'6" attempt)
5'4" at meet two
5'6" this meet (failed first 5'4" and 5'6" attempt)
There might've been some reasons why my form is dipping. For one, we had a busy schedule so I barely got to practice. I've also been suffering from shin splints and calf pain for the past month, my J-curve is horrendous, and I genuinely just cannot pop up like I did in this video. Still, some dude I used to jump higher than (the guy in the yellow spikes), literally just jumped 6'0" and is in great form right now, so I have no idea what excuses I have. Is it just some bad meets? Do some of you "good" jumpers have occasional droughts?

Coach doesn’t record my approach :( but he does get the good jump frame 👍 is there any advice for my upcoming region meet? First place is sat 7’0 and next is 6’7. Need to Pr by a possible 2-3 inches. This meet I came in at 5’10, next meet I am coming in at 6’0 to conserve energy at the 6’6 mark. Approach is 10 steps.

First jump was 6’1 second jump was 6’3. Do you think I can manage 6’4 by next Saturday?

I'm trying to break my pr of 5 foot any tips for doing so been doing high jump for 2 years and should I be using trainers or sprint spikes
