3x Team USA High Jumper Dontavious Hill shares why over-focusing on back arching causes common high jump mistakes and how to replace it with a rotation-focused approach for higher clearances.

You’ll learn:
- The 3 biggest problems caused by over-focusing on arching your back
- How head position, jump timing, and lower body alignment impact clearance
- Why a rotation-focused mindset produces better bar clearance than arching alone

Great for high jumpers struggling with knocking the bar despite “good” form, losing height when arching, or failing to get full-body rotation over the bar.
