Stop Guessing Your High Jump Approach. A consistent takeoff spot is one of the biggest keys to high jump success. In this video, I’ll show you how to measure, count, and train so you can hit the same spot every time and jump higher.

3x Team USA High Jumper Dontavious Hill explains the four essentials for locking in your takeoff spot — from measurements to running technique — so you can avoid inconsistency and wasted attempts.

You’ll learn:
- How to measure your mark and use it in practice and meets
- Why step count and curve approach shape your takeoff position
- The role of running technique and start marks in consistent jumps

Great for high jumpers, parents, and coaches who want to improve consistency, eliminate guesswork, and increase clearance success.
