Thank you this is just what I needed. At practice I felt like I was jumping the length of the bar rather than going over it. I’ve been struggling with getting over the bar and not slowing down on my run when I go to jump. I think this will help a lot thank you.
I had a meet today. It was the first day i ever tried high jump and i cleared 4’10 i’m in 7th grade and my hips prevented me from going over 5 foot. I’m going to take this advice.THANK YOU!
Thanks! I started to do high jump for my middle school track team today and I'm way behind due to coming in late for the season, so this helps (Im able to get over, but my form is awful)
@@OutperformOfficial Thank you I am so happy u liked my comment and commented back,I don't think I did good but everyone is proud of me for giving it a go at least. And I had HEAPS of fun and support with/from my friends And family.
Omfg, no, because my coach put me in the 100m, 200m, and 400m. I wanted to do a field event in place of the 400m, 'cuz HELL no, but he put me in High Jump, and still kept the 400m. Not only did he put me in the 400m still, he gave me a field event that I haven't had much practice for. It's last minute! I've been practicing for Long Jump, so now our first race tomorrow and I just KNOW I'm gonna f that High Jump up! 🤦🏽♂️
Great performances start with the right mindset. Every great athlete visualizes their success before the event. "The victorious strategist only seeks battle after the victory has been won, whereas he who is destined to defeat first fights and afterwards looks for victory." That is a quote from the art of war, basically you want to show up to the meet after you have already won it in your head. Good luck!
@@OutperformOfficial I'm coming back home from our first race, and I did exactly what I was gonna do. F'd that High Jump up... I messed up on 5ft all 3 times... That's embarrassing. I wasn't the only one though, so. It's whatever I guess.🤷🏽♂️
I can't seem to get the arch in my back people have told me a bunch of different things but i just cant seem to get it can anyone help please. Edit: ok so i got it the day before my first jv meet and i got first with 5'4 and i have been doing track for 2 weeks im excited for my future
Hey Joey, one of the best ways to developing the arch is to do back-overs. Check out this video on how to perform them ua-cam.com/video/KTdjOOjb7Ng/v-deo.html Also, there are 2 different cues that work really well during jumps with an approach you can try: 1) Tilting your head back after take-off and landing on your shoulders or 2) Getting your eyes over your shoulder of the lead arm. Experiment with each one and see what works best for you.
Probably late on this, but yes back over do help. Although, during your approach you want to develop a lean away from the bar. While clearing the bar, you want to flex your lower back and your butt.. This will give you your arch. Then big kick, that’ll throw you high shoulders.
@@jonathanmerino9251 Absolutely second that, leaning into the bar should be avoided at all costs. We actually go into this a bit more here ua-cam.com/video/NJOfhjP28Z8/v-deo.html Thanks Jonathan!
XPOLY Of course, I wish I found these videos videos sooner, 4 years sooner lol. I just finished out my senior season, and I’m already having withdrawals.
Check out this video, making sure you have good posture at the start of the approach will really improve your jump ua-cam.com/video/RPVUJGXFYAo/v-deo.html
Thanks for this i have to do a meet based on my sports meet results (3rd) and i've been finding it difficult to learn this thank you for the clear explanation
Luckily I grew up in a community that taught others exactly how to do this. I see others comments on here and it makes me thankful for having great coaches and teachers. Great form.
Hi Rohan, so this video actually covers a bit of air mechanics (what to do in the air). The rotation in the air comes from your approach and takeoff position. As far as what to think about or what to do in the air, it really depends on the athlete and what works for them. Watch this video starting at 3:40. Coach Baily covers some tips (getting the shoulder blades to the back corner of the pit, land on the shoulder blades etc). Timing is really important, if you are patient with knee drive and lifting the will really help you to hit the correct positions. Another tip that works for some athletes in the air is to tilt the head back or look over your lead arm. We posted another video with some drills that will also help with positions in the air, check out the 2 footed back-over with hip slap ua-cam.com/video/KTdjOOjb7Ng/v-deo.html. We'll be posting a few more videos during the season to provide some additional tips as well. Hopefully that helps answer some of your questions.
Thanks i needed this because i am competing in the bsme under 11 games in dubai and i was set to compete in high jump. (Bsme is when kids from different schools in the middle east compete in dubai, what bsme stands for is british schools in the middle east)
That’s quite the surprise challenge! For a quick start, focus on the basics: Run up in a curved path to help create the rotation needed for the jump. As you approach the bar, drive your knee up on the side nearest to the bar and lean back slightly to clear it. Swing your arms up to gain height. Even without equipment, practicing the approach and knee drive can be very beneficial. Most importantly have fun and don't put any pressure on yourself. Good luck-you've got this!
Thanks for these video because my mates and I did high jumps in school today, FYI on "how to place our back on the mat"😆 and i got PE tomorrow i hope i do well
I recently won the high jump at my school and I'm moving onto county sports which is every school in my area competing I had no experience doing hugh jump so I want to do well in finals now
Great instruction as usual but the demos here do show the knee drive coming across the body a little...at least parallel to the mat...which is what I would generally expect.
Thanks for the video. I’m a sophomore in high school who just started high jump and I’m trying to get 5’10” by the end of the year. Do you have any tips?
Hi David. Some tips - Get your approach dialed in, consistency is key in the high jump. From practice to practice and meet to meet. Develop solid technique in all aspects of the jump. Work on high jump specific plyometrics and drills, strength training and flexibility. Have fun with the sport and don't become overly focused on hitting certain heights. If you follow the advice above and continue to work hard the performance will take care of itself.
You know your high jump history! Although technically it was the mid 60's (1964) when the term was coined. I just spent 10 minutes brushing up on Dick Fosbury, great story :)
The girl has way better technique than the guy. The guy's leading arm doesn't drive up and lead the shoulder. The girl needs a little more rotation to get her back more perpendicular to the bar. But her lead arm and back arch are just superb. Beautiful to watch. The guy's elevation is quite incredible!!!
I am a high school track coach and am having trouble with one of my jumpers. She is getting a lot of height on her jumps but no rotation. Her upper body is always higher than her legs, and she is landing on her butt rather than her shoulder blades. What do you think might be causing this. Her approach into the pit seems to be the right angle, so I'm not sure that's the issue. Is this a problem of not enough lean away from the bar?
Actually i would think she ist scared of landing on her shoulderblades. Maybe try to practise that with her. She has to really bring her shoulder up and also open up her body to "bend" over the pole. That's a really "scary" thing an might need some time. She has to learn to trust herself that she'll land safely even when she jumps "head first" over the pole.
Thanks for the comment Little Littlefield. We'll be posting some more high jump videos throughout the season. The entire High Jump masterclass is available to purchase here vimeo.com/ondemand/highjump
I am going to all city on Tuesday and I’m so scared! The highest I can jump so far is 5’0 Tysm! I have been looking for some techniques. Btw I’m in 7th
I’ve been watching a lot of high jump videos lately, because I’m trying to improve at high jump a lot. And I’ve noticed when watching some people it looks as if their plant leg is straight. Is it more important to drive the knee when jumping? Or does most of the power come from your planting leg when you push off? I’ve heard different things
It's all in the approach to the bar. Centrifugal force has alot to do with the approach and your plant foot location to the bar. I was 5'8" and cleared 6'10" back in 1977. I used to watch Dwight Stones back then, read his articles and he mentioned that.
I’m not sure if this coach has talked about the penultimate step/aka planting foot before you jump. I believe this is highly important because most do not understand this. This is where most jumper if its long jump, triple jump, javelin etc blow out their knees. The penultimate step is a must to understand.
It would not be an illegal jump but you will get no where near as high doing that technique you’re best off jumping off your left foot on the right hand side and vice versa
Hi Darth, if I understand your question correctly - If you are jumping off of your right leg your approach should start on the left side of the mat and your J (the curve you run) would arc to the right. In other words the foot you jump off of should be the one furthest from the mat.
@@OutperformOfficial and 1 more thing. I always play football and i shoot the ball with my right foot. But, when i jump vertically, i jump higher with my left foot. Which foot should i use to jump?
@@darthlegion1755 When you kick with your right foot you are actually generating power from the left foot planted on the ground, so you will jump higher off your left.
i dont get it where should i place my feet that im jumping with? should it be paralell with the mat? you said between the corners of the mat but what corners?
@@OutperformOfficial so its best to have it facing about 45 degrees inbetween those corners? or is it better to be pointing more towards one of the corners?
Glad you found the video helpful! A good vertical jump is great starting point. It sounds like your coach understands your potential which is great. The high jump is a technical event so working on technique will help you to maximize your talent. If you want some ideas for drills and training we just posted this guide on high jump workouts that should really help. outperformsports.com/high-jump-workouts/ Keep at it and remember that like any skill it takes time to develop, good luck!
So I'm a high jumper, and every time I jump, I do a combination of a scissor kick and a flop. I jump like I'm gonna scissor the bar, but I life both my legs up like a flop. So I always mess up and can't get the flop technique down because I do arch my back and I don't go go over in a straight line, but more sideways because I don't rotate. Any suggestions? And whenever I'm about to jump, I swing my arms back, then swing them back forward right before I jump. But whenever I do that, I lose all my momentum because of my arms. Any way you could help me with that?
Try doing back-over drills and really focus on proper mechanics. You can also practice with a shorter approach and gradually move backwards. Remember that the rotation is a result of the approach. It takes some time but learning how to run the 'J' or the curve properly will help. Check out ua-cam.com/video/-wBdunFVlxk/v-deo.html In the 'Jumping Smarter, Jumping Higher' master class coach Baily does an amazing job teaching how to build an approach so that is another option. Humans are creatures of habit. If you've logged a lot of reps with incorrect technique then naturally that is what your body wants to do. Be patient and understand that you have to 'rewire' the nervous system with a lot of reps done properly.
Hi Daniel. Sure thing, the angle of your takeoff foot should between the corners of the mat that you are facing when you jump (check out 2:12 in this video to see an example). In this case it is between the back left corner and the front left corner of the mat. If you jump off the right foot you would want it in between the back right corner and front right corner. Hopefully that makes sense.
Thanks for the video, but I thought bringing the knee drive towards the shoulder (right knee to left shoulder and vice versa) helps the body rotate over the bar?
@@OutperformOfficial Well that is absolutely correct! I just wonder if bringing the knee towards the shoulder helps because the thigh is more aligned with the body.
@@wallbasher2 Cool, and hope u make it this time if haven't, I still need improvement on it as well, so yea, second year should be better like long jump
My daughter is in 8th and has a bad habit of diving into the bar shoulder first at times limiting her ability to regularly get higher. She's consistent at 4'4 but has got 4'9 before when ahe was jumping more backwards. Now she's landing more on her left arm side when she's diving too much rather than jumping. She jumps off her right foot.
Certainly not! The high jump, like all sports, is a journey. Your current performance is just a bookmark and doesn't define you as an athlete. Keep working at it and enjoying the sport, the results will take care of themselves.
Hello George, you are absolutely correct, and actually, it was even earlier than that. A few high jump aficionados such of yourself have pointed that out, I don't think Coach Baily will live this one down :)
Check out our other high jump videos on this channel and work through the progression. If you are really serious check out the full course outperformsports.com/product/jumping-smarter-jumping-higher/
I wouldn't advise jumping with bad technique as the more jumps you take the harder it will be to unlearn bad habits. Think of how much higher you'll eventually jump with proper technique
Ok this helped as I'm going to try this tomorrow because I've managed to get 1:60 (meters not feet) doing the drive sideways method which you've said is not good so if I try this then I'm possibly getting 1.70 or more. Bare in mind I'm year 10 and my best competition in all local schools etc is my mate 😂 we both get the same score and everyone else gets 1.45 or less. We doing well for our age or? Edit: I changed the measurements and I get 5.29 in terms of ft
Double Stuf The more you practise the better you’ll get. I changed the run I run straight at the bar diagonally from the initial running point and launch myself up and it tends to maximise the height. (Obviously turn in the air aswell like the video mentioned)
Hi Ruel, the angle of your takeoff foot should between the front and back corners of the mat that you are facing when you jump (check out @ in this video to see an example). In this case it is between the back left corner and the front left corner of the mat. If you jump off the right foot you would want it in between the back right corner and front right corner.
No need to worry! High jump can feel tricky at first, but you're already taking a great step by preparing. Focus on your approach and timing, and remember, it's all about giving your best effort. No matter the result, you'll learn and improve from the experience. Good luck!
Yeah it can be quite scary for beginners but it's really not a thing that happens. Surely it needs some practice to jump like that and to find the right timing but you'll tend more too closing you body too early and hitting the bar with your legs than closing too late.

So I'm a high jumper, and every time I jump, I do a combination of a scissor kick and a flop. I jump like I'm gonna scissor the bar, but I life both my legs up like a flop. So I always mess up and can't get the flop technique down because I do arch my back and I don't go go over in a straight line, but more sideways because I don't rotate. Any suggestions? And whenever I'm about to jump, I swing my arms back, then swing them back forward right before I jump. But whenever I do that, I lose all my momentum because of my arms. Any way you could help me with that?
Try doing back-over drills and really focus on proper mechanics. You can also practice with a shorter approach and gradually move backwards. Remember that the rotation is a result of the approach. It takes some time but learning how to run the 'J' or the curve properly will help. Check out ua-cam.com/video/-wBdunFVlxk/v-deo.html
In the 'Jumping Smarter, Jumping Higher' master class coach Baily does an amazing job teaching how to build an approach so that is another option.
Humans are creatures of habit. If you've logged a lot of reps with incorrect technique then naturally that is what your body wants to do. Be patient and understand that you have to 'rewire' the nervous system with a lot of reps done properly.
@@OutperformOfficial Thanks so much! I'll start doing that!
Does diving style which is forward jump a successful jump?
It looks easy but it ain’t I always hit the bar
Noob din mamma
@@kunon8 we did not ask for a glass of ur opinion
@@the30secondsguy4 bruh u 1 year late trying to roast my 9 year old cousin😂
@@kunon8 oh yea sorry my guy
I was roaming u aculy u called him a noob
I am left dominant so what foot do i take off
Most likely left but it's always a good idea to experiment with both and go with what feels best and gives you the best results.
0:00 to 0:09 when i found out i got covid 19
Is he a left or right footer
left
@@OutperformOfficial thanks man, i am a right footer and i had a confusion about the jumping side
could you explain what it means when your foot is angled between the to corners?
Hi Daniel. Sure thing, the angle of your takeoff foot should between the corners of the mat that you are facing when you jump (check out 2:12 in this video to see an example). In this case it is between the back left corner and the front left corner of the mat. If you jump off the right foot you would want it in between the back right corner and front right corner. Hopefully that makes sense.
Thanks for the video, but I thought bringing the knee drive towards the shoulder (right knee to left shoulder and vice versa) helps the body rotate over the bar?
Hi Tony, rotation should be a result of your approach. If the approach is correct the body will naturally rotate over the bar.
@@OutperformOfficial Well that is absolutely correct! I just wonder if bringing the knee towards the shoulder helps because the thigh is more aligned with the body.

I literally have athletics district tomorrow and I rlly need this cuz I’m doing triple jump and HIGH JUMP
Ahhh I’m so nervous 😬
You're all over it, good luck!
On my bus headed to a meet right now
മലയാളി ആരെങ്കിലും ഉണ്ടോ 😄
Trying to state qualify on Saturday, my highest jump is 4’8”, and I need about one more inch. Thanks for this video, because I have terrible form 😂
Good luck Kali, let us know how it goes!
What was your position in district competition
How did u do👀
@@samlove3770 I didn’t end up qualifying but I still jump today 😂 I have cleared 4’9 by now though lmao
@@wallbasher2 Cool, and hope u make it this time if haven't, I still need improvement on it as well, so yea, second year should be better like long jump
My daughter is in 8th and has a bad habit of diving into the bar shoulder first at times limiting her ability to regularly get higher. She's consistent at 4'4 but has got 4'9 before when ahe was jumping more backwards. Now she's landing more on her left arm side when she's diving too much rather than jumping. She jumps off her right foot.
Doing high jump tomorrow for the first time with no practice or coaching 😭
Good luck!
My PR is 5'4 as a freshman in HS. How good is that?
This is for outdoor btw
Great, keep at at!
@@OutperformOfficial thanks man, definitely will
Am gonna do this for sports day hope I win
Best of luck!
Im 5”9 and jump 1.28 m is that bad ??
Certainly not! The high jump, like all sports, is a journey. Your current performance is just a bookmark and doesn't define you as an athlete. Keep working at it and enjoying the sport, the results will take care of themselves.
Are we allowed to touch the bar when jumping?
Yes, as long as it doesn't fall off from the stand.
Fosbary Flop was shown in the 1968 Olympics not the late 70's
Hello George, you are absolutely correct, and actually, it was even earlier than that. A few high jump aficionados such of yourself have pointed that out, I don't think Coach Baily will live this one down :)
What is the lean?
im suffering, i need to go for high jump in school tmrw and i cant do it properly even though i can jump 110cm+. i just dive over the bar
I accidentally did high jump for track and my first meet is in 4 days and I have no clue how to get over the bar
Hopefully this helped!
I’ll try this because I want to win against another school I’m just scared that I’ll just hit the bar somehow
Just remember to jump away from the bar, not into it and let your approach do all the work! Good luck!
Im the same its just i have always got first at my track meets and now my friend can jump higher then me and im scared
Can you help me out, I scissor kick higher than I can flop, and I feel like I could at least tie my school record with even ok form

im 5“6 jumping 1.65m with bad technique is that good?
I wouldn't advise jumping with bad technique as the more jumps you take the harder it will be to unlearn bad habits. Think of how much higher you'll eventually jump with proper technique
I arch but it's like I'm jumping into the bar and I'm not getting enough jump force :( can someone help
Ok this helped as I'm going to try this tomorrow because I've managed to get 1:60 (meters not feet) doing the drive sideways method which you've said is not good so if I try this then I'm possibly getting 1.70 or more. Bare in mind I'm year 10 and my best competition in all local schools etc is my mate 😂 we both get the same score and everyone else gets 1.45 or less. We doing well for our age or?
Edit: I changed the measurements and I get 5.29 in terms of ft
River 2603 I can’t beat 1.10 metres
Double Stuf The more you practise the better you’ll get. I changed the run I run straight at the bar diagonally from the initial running point and launch myself up and it tends to maximise the height. (Obviously turn in the air aswell like the video mentioned)
I'm 7th grade and I jump 1.46 m is that good?
I don't understand the part when the foot is angled between 2 corners of mat
Hi Ruel, the angle of your takeoff foot should between the front and back corners of the mat that you are facing when you jump (check out @ in this video to see an example). In this case it is between the back left corner and the front left corner of the mat. If you jump off the right foot you would want it in between the back right corner and front right corner.
@@OutperformOfficial I still don't understand and Hi
Ham ko bhi shikh na hai sir
I’m in the team but I can’t jump over a metre and the teacher says I can do it I just need to recover my feet
Hi
Awesome
I look at this video because tomorrow I have sports day and I am really bad in high jump AND I DON'T WANT TO GET EMBARRASSED 😳
No need to worry! High jump can feel tricky at first, but you're already taking a great step by preparing. Focus on your approach and timing, and remember, it's all about giving your best effort. No matter the result, you'll learn and improve from the experience. Good luck!
Bro it is absolutely terrifying me that they land head first. Like what if I break my neck??
Yeah it can be quite scary for beginners but it's really not a thing that happens. Surely it needs some practice to jump like that and to find the right timing but you'll tend more too closing you body too early and hitting the bar with your legs than closing too late.
