what's up everyone Morey Croson here from the performance lab of California and we have another
breakdown here today it is on Juan Miguel like I'm not even to try to pronounce that that last
name I've messed up and butchered some some last names before another respect of the last name I
did not want to mess that up but unbelievable long jump that's just happened a couple days
ago eight point eight three meters that's just unreal I think he beat the whole field by like
a foot maybe foot and a half just crazy long jump in it and I believe the world the world
the Atlantic champion was actually participating in the event as well so and he beat everybody by
over foot so just absolutely crazy but um you know we'll get we'll get hot well hop right into the
breakdown and I wanted to start from the beginning because he had such an interesting approach into
his actual run so he gets going he starts with just like a early high knee position which is a
typical you know when you're when you're doing the long jugs is something that a lot of people
do but he's definitely gaining a lot of speed now he's trying to go and really accelerate accelerate
accelerate games to the speed and then from there he goes and kind of lifts up and now he's just
thinking about staying tall stand tall stand tall and and really focusing on getting that heel toe
button and creating great vertical action here and focusing on that that knee drive me drive
me drive which i think is important because then he goes right into right before he started or it
gets to jump he goes and he gets a quick little burst of acceleration again right here now he's
gonna start and and really bend forward and begin another acceleration phase and then from there
once he begins at other acceleration phase now I want to see or I want to show you guys real
quick so when he's in this this more sprinting phase notice how when he's pulling he's pulling
he's landing with his foot right underneath his head right we can go to the other one too and
he's pulling and he's landing with this foot right underneath his head when he's when he's
really trying to gain that speed and then when he gets going with that that quick acceleration
phase now he's landing with the foot a little bit out in front of his body okay see that difference
there and then with this one his foots way out in front of his body and that's really a key thing
that you got to be able to do in order to be able to jump really far and really be successful here
is you've got to be able to extend that leg out and from here I know this this isn't the best
quality but he lands really primarily on the heel first and then from there you know he is he has
such a sharp angle in his fine then he's able to transfer that weight from being back behind
to right in and line basically with his his shin and me and then once his hips carry even now he's
going and he's pressing up and noticed I mean look at the knee bend that he has going on here
and again you can't see that excellently but you could see that there's definitely coz where your
foot is so he's definitely betting in the knee and then from there I mean look at how crazy
that looks for him to be getting off the ground like that I mean this is unreal but and and that
comes from having that that uh that leg fairly straight on the landing now he's absorbing all
of that into the knee and then from there really pushing off and accelerating getting plenty of
plantar flexion there plenty of extension within the leg and then from there he's just getting up
when he's when he's in the area you know continue to cycle here and keep your weight back so then
when you go and need to reach now you can go and really extend look at how much he's able to flex
in that pelvis and in that spine to make it so you could really Drive that leg out in front
of you look he's almost driving his foot or it's already his head to his knees as he's reaching out
and extending and he's just trying to hold that position for as long as he can until he goes in
lands and you know goes and jumps 8.8 3 meters I mean again just an unbelievable jump and some of
the things I thought were very very interesting in game that I think you could utilize as a if you're
if you're participating a long jump is one how he initiates with that that knee Drive and then
he goes into like acceleration really trying to gain speed and then from there he goes back into
like the last few steps he gets it back under control where he's really focusing on D Drive
then he lands with that right foot that right foot is is out in front the rest of his body
is back behind and he has a bit of a of an angle as he's landing he's probably at about it this is
about 90 degrees it's probably about a 70 degree angle with his shin knee hip I'm up to his head
if we just drilled an angle problem like the middle part of his foot to his head about a 70
degree angle and then from there he's accelerating really quickly slightly been in the knee and then
extending triple extension with the toes for bull chest with the toes knees and hips getting all the
way going and then from there really trying to I mean allowing stuff to to absorb that way and push
off the ground and then going into a large amount of flexion within the spine as he's reaching out
and and achieving the long jump all right so if you have questions you can reach out to me
my email is Morey mor e Y at your performance lab com will attach a couple of our free ebooks here
we got free speed ebook as well as its of online programs that are definitely something that we
would recommend you be a part of if you have any questions about those you could definitely reach
out to me as well or you could also click on the link below and get access to the ebooks as well as
the online program so yeah guys as always thanks for watching these videos and we will see you soon
