Ultimate Long Jump Take-off

In this video coach john Shepherd (http://www.johnshepherdfitness.com) takes alook into the details of the long jump take-off. The role of the penultimate step is considered as well as foot placement and drive from the board. Statistics are used from the men's long jump final from the Berlin World Champs in 2009 to illustrate how vital getting the take-off right is. John also looks at some of the jumpers in his group to provide examples as to what a good take-off should look like and on occasions what it should not! Some drills are also identified as means to improve take-off.
