Opening your season with a double PR after a messy start is a mindset win as much as it is a jumping win. In this video, I recap Zach’s season opener, how he broke his indoor school record twice, and the one technical change that will unlock the next set of bars fast.

3x Team USA High Jumper Dontavious Hill sits down with Zach and his dad Mike to break down a season-opening meet where Zach fought through long jump fouls, a shaky start in high jump, then responded with a double PR, breaking the indoor school record at 5’8 and then again at 5’10.

You’ll learn:
- How Zach reset mentally after fouling long jump and missing his first two attempts at 5’6, then flipped the meet
- Why jumping to the height instead of jumping over the height is the silent ceiling at 6’0 and above
- The single fastest technical unlock for Zach right now: getting comfortable taking off closer to the bar so the jump goes up, not into the pit
- Great for high school high jumpers and parents who want to understand how confidence, event momentum, and one focused technical priority can create fast breakthroughs early in the season.
