hey what's up everyone morey croson here from the performance at the California and we have another
new breakdown for you today on Jonathan Edwards he is the triple jump world record holder triple
jump that we have ever seen out of Great Britain you tell us is from a little while back so I will
go ahead and hop right into the breakdown actually before we do that I just want to say if you like
these videos or want to learn more about how you can jump higher run faster throw the ball better
get some drills get some exercises stay healthy subscribe to the channel cook the lake for the
notification seeing a constant updates for when we make new post and when we go live so without
further ado now well actually you're going with the video first thing I want to say when we're
watching this actual breakdown or video the notice how stable his feet are during his landing look
how he doesn't go into any type of pronation it's just very very strong on each one of
those steps this when he goes into a little bit of inversion in the foot but for the most part he's
super stable within that ankle joint as getting himself ready and you know you just don't see very
much pronation right and I think that's very very important to understand is that the stabilization
within the foot is gonna be so important making it so you could actually decelerate and accelerate on
each one of your steps so if you're losing foot stabilization or if you're not able to be very
quick in your actual landing phase then and in contact time phase so the time spent with your
foot on the ground then you got to stabilize your foot more even here a triple jump I just want to
say you know if you're not doing foot exercises on a daily basis as a triple jumper then you need to
start doing some foot exercises because that's gonna be a key part of making sure that you can
jump the jump higher and further you can see very similar that what we see within the long
jump where he's just maintaining a very upright posture very good flexibility look at how he gets
that heel all the way up as good as he does and then also cycles that leg all the way back and
through does seem like as he's coming forward through forward here that his ability to really
extend that leg out in front is something that he relies on in the actual transition so notice here
when he lays on his left leg he's fairly straight with that left leg he's not super bent right that
knees not bent it's pretty straight overall there is obviously something but but it's not a lot of
bending and he pushes off and what's amazing is that what that push off he does such a good job
of cycling that left leg right up towards this butt and then gets it all the way out in front
of them with that knee straight right the leg straight everything out in front it's really
really good job being able to cycle that leg lands with his ball of his foot and also get
some slight knee bending going on and other quality the video isn't great then from here
drives that right knee up after this landing oh gosh decide to make another video because it keeps
on freezing on me but so you see that left leg cycle through then we go here knee up holds it
holds it holds it makes it so you can get that extension is really driving towards the ground
here and then from here is very quick and being able to push immediately off the ground and get
that knee up knee up keeping the hands high and then extending all the way out in front of them
right so he doesn't allow himself to really get that knee to extend early right so he gets his
leg all the way up and through left side and then when he pushes off his left side gets his
right knee up right knee up holds it holds it keeps that right shoulder back keeps that left
hand up in front holds it and then from here now he goes in both arms back fairly straight on the
landing but then a large amount of knee bend keeps the chest up looks like he's leaning over to his
right side slightly which is normal and then from there accelerates all the way up gets both arms
up and through gets full plantar flexion there let's his foot get all the way back behind him
as patient and getting his foot like all the way back behind him then cycles that right leg
up towards his butt and then extends both legs out in front and boom now you do the triple jump how
