Arching your back is one of the biggest myths in high jump—and it’s quietly holding you back from clearing higher bars.

3x Team USA High Jumper Dontavious Hill breaks down why high jump is a rotation-based event, not an arching event, and how fixing your curve lean and body rotation instantly improves bar clearance.

You’ll learn:
- Why trying to “arch your back” actually hurts your clearance
- Where your true center of mass is—and why it changes everything
- How curve lean and rotation create effortless snap over the bar

Perfect for high school high jumpers (and parents) who are stuck hitting the bar with their hips or legs and want a simpler, physics-based approach to jumping higher.
