Coach Baily explains how to maximize long jump distance by mastering proper landing technique and maintaining mid-air posture.

How you land in the long jump can mean the difference of 1-2 feet. If you want to maximize the distance of your jumps it's essential to master the proper landing technique. In this video you'll learn the key steps to improving your landing as well as factors during the air that influence how you land. Coach Baily talks about the importance of proper posture in mid air and how looking down to see where you are landing results in the chest falling which has a significant impact on your landing. Olympic bronze medalist Janay DeLoach Soukup teaches and demonstrates proper landing mechanics including: how to collapse into your feet, proper posture as well as how to avoid common errors such as dropping the feet.

On “Long jump: Last year I got 17’ atmy first meet, covid happened, I got fat and slow, and now I’m starting to get back into it, I got 14’ at my first meet of the season which I find as a huge step backwards, any tips or critics on my form? I think it’s pretty horrible”
