Your lean angle during the curve determines how much rotation you'll generate over the bar. Too little lean = hitting the bar.

3x Team USA High Jumper Dontavious Hill breaks down the precise lean mechanics that create optimal rotation while maintaining speed and control.

In this video you'll discover:
- How to find your optimal lean angle for maximum rotation
- Why most athletes lean too little or too much
- The relationship between lean, speed, and bar clearance
- How to practice lean mechanics safely and effectively

Perfect for high school high jumpers who consistently hit the bar or struggle with rotation over higher heights.

Master the high jump inward lean to generate more rotation over the bar. Learn the correct technique to improve your jump.

Many jumpers struggle with misconceptions about arching the back, but the inward lean is the key to efficient movement. This breakdown explains why leaning inward is essential for clearing higher heights and how it fundamentally changes your approach to the bar.

I am Dante Hill, a three-time Team USA high jumper, and I use this high jump technique to consistently hit personal bests like 7'5. Understanding how to properly execute the high jump inward lean will help you stop fighting your own momentum and start using physics to your advantage. If you want to refine your high jump form and understand the mechanics of high jump rotation, this is the breakdown for you.
