If your takeoff feels inconsistent, it’s usually because one of three small mistakes is stealing inches right before you leave the ground.

3x Team USA High Jumper Dontavious Hill breaks down the takeoff position as the “final move” that decides everything—and shows how to fix the most common takeoff errors that cause you to drift into the bar, lose height, and miss easy clears.

You’ll learn:
- How your lead arm angle can pull your entire body the wrong way
- The right knee drive (vertical + across the body) to create lift and rotation
- Why sinking at takeoff kills height—and how to stay tall with simple walk-through reps

Perfect for high school high jumpers (and parents) who are hitting the bar with their hips/legs, getting pulled into the bar, or struggling to jump up at higher heights.
