I Increased my High Jump PR by 9 inches from Junior to Senior Year In High School and here is how I did it.

I became a student of the event and learned the aspects of the approach in the high jump.

Aspects of The High Jump

Being consistent & rhythmic in your run up
Having good rhythm in the run up from start to finish and gradually increasing the speed is essential.

Stay Tall.
Staying tall allows you to get the most out of your jump by having your body at its highest point.

Lean in the curve of the approach.
Leaning in the curve of the approach causes your body to fight the momentum to go horizontal and takes you upward. It also allows you to generate force which gives you rotation over the bar.

Stay away from the bar on takeoff.
This is being patient and allowing your body to rise before attempting to clear the bar.

Be quick off the ground on takeoff.
This is having an intentional takeoff where you attack the ground quickly.

Winning The Mental Game
I learned to win the mental game of the event and embraced being confident in my abilities.

I focused on myself and my journey, while blocking out the noise and external distractions.

I set goals for myself during the season and chased them whole heartedly.
