COACHING THE HITCH-KICK TO YOUNG & OLD JUMPERS - NEW THOUGHTS NEW IDEAS (USING HIGH JUMP MATTRESS)

I've been coaching the jumps for over 20 years now and I've learn't a lot and realised that you never stop learning.
This became apparent in the making of this video when I realised that there were nuances of arm action which affected the take-off and take-off drive positions of the long jump. Also there were more variations as to how the hitch-hang could be done ... maybe we need to come up with some different names. I expect I will make a video on this at some point.
So, this video picks up on these and other themes/ideas(such as how you can use a high jump mattress to aid learnng). As noted it expanded my knowledge as to how the hitch-kick can be coached in its making. It is only when you really look do you really see.
I hope it will do the same for you …
