Throwing your head straight back is one of the most common mistakes in high jump—and it quietly kills rotation and bar clearance.

3x Team USA High Jumper Dontavious Hill explains why high jump is a rotation-based event—and how fixing your head direction and body turn can instantly improve your position over the bar.

You’ll learn:
- Why throwing your head straight back pulls you out of rotation
- How proper lean and approach create full-body turn over the bar
- Where your head should go to help your body rotate cleanly

Perfect for high school high jumpers (and parents) who feel like they’re jumping backward, stalling in the air, or struggling to rotate cleanly at higher heights.
