3x Team USA High Jumper Dontavious Hill breaks down what the knee drive actually does in the high jump, why most athletes misuse it, and how to turn it into an asset instead of a liability.
You’ll learn:
- Why dropping your knee too early kills height and “weighs you down”
- How over-exaggerating the knee drive can throw your body out of balance
- Simple low-bar drills to fix knee drive timing and leg coordination
Perfect for high school high jumpers (and parents) who feel flat at takeoff, lose lift in the air, or can’t find consistency with their knee drive.
