How do you do the High Jump?

Like how pro's do it? I have sports day coming up and i'm doing high jump and i don't know how to actually do it. LOL.|||LOL. Well, maybe you should see if you can practice before you do it.





I'll try to explain it as best as I can.


You need to first figure out which side you're going to run from. There will obviously be a pole you'll jump over, and a mat behind it to land on. You need to figure out which side you'll be running from; the right, or the left. You're going to run towards the poll at a sort of arc. I'll try to illustrate that:





[mat and poll]


........x [jump here]


............. ....x


........................x


............................x


................................x


..................................x


..................................x


..................................x





when you get to the last 'x', where I put "jump here", you have to take off of your dominant foot. you're almost going to be parallel to the bar when you jump. You'll take off your dominant foot, swing your arms, and throw yourself over the bar. Look up videos to see this more clearly, it's hard to describe in words lol. You'll land on your back on the mat.





Look up videos to see, and hopefully you can connect what I've said to the videos lol.





Good luck!
