Coaching, jumps, sprints & more
Everything about jumping and sprinting and how to improve your performance
Recently I was asked to do a session for Ireland Athletics, This involved two days in Athlone working with their top long and triple jumpers. As part of my tasks - I produced some course notes - as it were - to support the athletes and coaches learning. Well, I got a little carried away - partly as I know how to use an on-line multi-media magazine creation software programme (Lucid Press). The consequence was more magazine that power-point presentation. So, I thought I would further work on The Jumper and then release it to a larger audience. You can click on the image to view what I have created and there's also a short video of the content embedded into the page too via YouTube. As of today after not too much promotion 500 people from around the world have taken a look at The Jumper. Should support be forthcoming (I have set up a Patreon page), then I may do a further "issue" and ask (and hopefully pay) other coaches from the jumps community to contribute. Let me know what you think. Within the first issue of The Jumper are: My thoughts on how to piece training together Long and triple jump run-up accuracy tips Weight training for the jumps - limitations and potentialities Plyometrics and specifically drop jumps Links to The Triple Jumpers Podcast The Jumper also contains links to some of the videos on my YouTube channel which further illustrate what's being talked about in some of the articles. Again do let me know what you think.

Hi John, what a great source of information for horizontal jumpers the Jumper is. Ive watched them all this year on Utube. Great for coaching and athletes alike. Please keep them coming.
