thank you thank you thank you, your channel is just what I needed. I am taking a course on springboard diving and there's not enough time to practice and receive coaching on the boards, so your channel is an amazing resource!!!
amazing, thanks! as an adult beginner, 8 weeks in, I'm being taught 101A without a jump, instead just a little push from the board. I start with hands above head, and to get the rotation, I add a very little 'dunk' style arm swing forward from arms overhead. Quite enjoying this version. Also being encouraged to look ahead but spot the water and coach stands where I should aim for, tells me to aim closer and closer and go up instead of out. So from your video, the idea of popping the heels back a bit to get the rotation, instead of the arms, is intriguing. I hadn't been thinking about my heels being involved in the rotation. I don't know if they are. Will think examine that next time. I wonder if popping the heels back is going to be more suited to when there's more airtime, though? I may try to add a little of that to my "little push" (no air from board) version (carefully!). thanks again for the vids!
Poppping the heels back will definitely help as you use the board a bit more. Sounds like you’re doing “tower take off” drills. Those are great for finding timing between squat and final arm throw.
This is so helpful! I struggle so much as an adult beginner to jump high and up. Could you give some tips on how to jump up rather than forward? I feel it's a silly question, but even when I think I'm jumping up I still get a lot of distance from the board!
Unfortunately, it can be a slow process. You can try varying the amount of power you put into the final jump and see how that affects distance. When it comes to distance from the board the technical way to look at it is to look at the angle your hips are at during the takeoff. Without seeing any video it’s hard to say what your exact issue is. But if you pay attention to your center of mass at the release point of your takeoff and sit more in your take off that should help shift your weight back and keep you on the board longer, therefore keeping you closer to the board. I hope this helps a little bit, if you want more click the link in the description and send me some videos. I’d be happy to help!
Hello! I love your videos and they helped me a lot, will you start uploading again? And if you were, could you please do a video about 102C? Thank you.
Hi there! So happy it’s helpful for you. I do intend to put more effort into this channel this year. I will keep 102c in mind. Take a look at the 103 and 105 videos to help with your front flip. The same concepts will apply for the most part! Good luck.
Great vid. As a newbie adult diver I find this the hardest of all the basic things. Quite happy pike falling from the upper boards but still utterly hopeless at straight diving the 1m... Do you think dryland training or any at home (yoga mat) drills can help with this dive in terms of getting the position and a sense for what it should feel like? Thanks
I suggest learn what it feels like to handstand, that gives the taught body feeling you need to snap into when you leave the board. And/or just stand on your tip toes and try to reach as high as you possibly can! But inverted is important too because that's the position you'll adopting during the course of the dive and for the critical entry.
Handstands are a great way to learn that body position. Just make sure you’re setting up your phone to record it. Most people are way to archy. If using a wall make it do that your stomach is facing the wall and move your hands in until you’re about a foot length away, then hollow out your body and so only your toes are touching the wall. Shrug up and feel this position. Check your video to make sure it is hollow/straight. This drill is best for entry/lineup body position but will put you on the right track for staight dive
Yeah sure. There’s no such thing as 111 fyi. And the difference is really on the start. You put you body in a layout position before doing the tuck or pike. I can make a short about it at some point.
Hello brother we spoke on Fiverr and you inquired me about an edit? My account was just suspended because I accepted your offer and it violated their TOS. You have no contact information on your youtube so i’m writing this comment.
Well that used to be a thing in the 80’s and maybe early 90’s. It’s just because at the time it was a really hard dove for people to do and wasn’t common. It was also viewed as a very dangerous dive (somebody died doing it in the 80’s). Now there are 12 year olds learning this dive which is really impressive, but it’s no longer the hardest dive to do and the sentiment around it has changed.
These videotapes, actual diving competitions or practice or just guys jumping off a diving we’re doing a dive at one minute 39 seconds Mark you start talking about being Archie please explain to me no particular point at the ankle joint he’s got right angle there’s no flexion below the ankle joint of the feet that are touching together and it should look like upside down version of ballerina doing basic routines the feet bear distracting this can’t be a competition.
There’s a mix of practice videos and competition videos. Being “archy” is referring to the low back and hips of the diver in this case. I’m not sure if I answered your question but let me know if you out need anything else!
자세한 설명 너무 좋아 👍

@@thediverguy 405c, 403b, 205c, 305c, 5134d, and 106c/107c. ty for the vids last year they helped my qualify for state my freshman season
I'm a begginer diver and your videos are great, thanks!
Happy I can help!
Thanks!
I have been waiting for this video for a while. You kept your word!
Glad I could help! Hope it solves some issues

recently started learning this! this will help a lot thank you
Glad to hear it! Good luck!!
Awesome content! please keep on making it! Can I ask to add maybe some excercises or routines for dives in your videos?
That’s a great idea!

Hello youre the best teacher on perfection of dives can you please put 301a dive tat would be really helpful
I will add it to the list for you!

@@thediverguy thank you so much! And happy new years! So excited to watch some more of your diving videos. Good luck!

Sure thing!
@@thediverguy Thanks so much!!
Finally!!
Ikr!!

would you do a video about the difference between 101 and 111 or 102 and 112, ect ?
Yeah sure. There’s no such thing as 111 fyi. And the difference is really on the start. You put you body in a layout position before doing the tuck or pike. I can make a short about it at some point.
that would be great, idk why i thought there was a 111, lol@@thediverguy
Love your videos
Could you do one about hurdles ? thanks :)
Thank you so much! I will definitely make one for hurdles and back presses soon!

AKA layout.
why do they call the reverse 3 1/2 tuck the death dive ?
