Video #1 - First step in this clip is #4. Count the steps 4-5-6-7-8-9-10! Pacing is not bad on this approach. Now look frame-by-frame using the right/left cursor arrow keys. The SHAPE of you "J" approach is not what we want. Step 7 is almost in the same line as 1-6. Step 7 is a pivot/spin step in which your head, shoulders and hips all turn to face the crossbar. If you watch the video full speed you can pick up this "event" (something not smooth) happening at step 7. This is something we will work to smooth out. The reason this is bad is because of how it affects the rest of your approach. Going frame-by-frame, notice that your steps 8-9-10 fall in almost a perfectly straight line heading into the crossbar. This straight line means no need to LEAN! Steps 7-8-9-10 should lie on the arc of a circle to create a good Lean... Another thing we always look at is the LAST frame with your plant foot toe still on the ground - this clip captures it well - it looks like you toe is barely still touching the ground. Cursor left/right to find that frame of the video. Notice your "release angle" is not straight up to the sky, it is diagonal over the bar and toward the pit. You have to do this to make up for no Lean, because of the straight 8-9-10! It all goes back to that! Good in this video is the held arch until shoulders have fallen way below the hips - most jumpers at the high school level never get to this point in controlling their arch! Video #2 - We shoot video from this viewpoint (looking along a 45 degree line at the turn of your "J" approach) to see what your Lean looks like. For you this view tells us more about the placement of the steps in your approach. You can really see steps 5-6-7 in a straight line (step 5 is the first one to hit the surface). Step 7 looks like that basketball jab-step to the right before cutting left, like we talked about at practice. You do then create Lean by placing step 8 ACROSS the centerline of your body! Here it looks a little more like the "event" (turn/spin/slip) is on step 8 than step 7. And even though you can't fully see them here, it's pretty sure 8-9-10 are in a very straight line. In the air this jump is pretty terrific! Very perpendicular to the bar, nice arch control. Video #3 - This is an attempt at 5'4". The placement of your steps is much better on this approach - 6-7-8-9-10 are much closer to being a circulr arc! BUT - not enough Lean for the % effort & speed of the approach. Last frame with plant foot toe on the ground shows a nearly vertical release angle with the bar-side arm, but your head and back are already arching - no time to RISE. This jump had the height but misses with a back strike because of the too-early arch. This is where adding the rise timing delay by SAYING "10-AND-Arch..." will make a difference if you SAY it! Video #4 - Not as good as video #3. Here your approach is back to more of a straight-spin-straight, so not much Lean. Last frame up on your toe shows a non-vertical release to get over into the pit. We'd rather get there with a good Lean, vertical release, and the "throw" of the un-leaning efect! We need to discuss the "dimmer switch" concept for Arch - next time we practice! Good work :-)
