Why Leaning AWAY From the Bar Makes You Jump Higher. Learn the slingshot lean technique and curve mechanics that create automatic rotation for consistent clearance.

3x Team USA High Jumper Dontavious Hill explains why leaning away from the bar, controlling your curve, and shifting your mindset toward rotation will help you jump higher and avoid common clearance mistakes.

You’ll learn:
- Why leaning away from the bar acts like a slingshot into rotation
- How to use the “falling over” concept to position your hips as the highest point
- The right way to run the curve for maximum height and control

Great for high jumpers and parents who want to improve clearance form, eliminate hip and leg bar contact, and develop a more efficient approach.
