The Curve Drill That Creates High Jump Rotation CONSISTENTLY

Introduction to the Curve Run00:00:00

Dantavius Hill introduces the curve run drill, a technique used at the collegiate and professional level to build fundamental high jump skills.

Setting Up and Executing the Drill00:01:02

The drill involves running 50 to 100 meters along the curve of a track in lane one or two, focusing on maintaining a consistent inward lean throughout the entire duration.

Key Focus Areas: Lean and Rhythm00:02:47

Success in the drill requires an inward lean and a steady, rhythmic pace. It is not a sprint; athletes should maintain a consistent, controlled 'tap' rhythm rather than focusing on speed.

Building Endurance and Rotational Foundation00:05:04

By extending the curve time to 15-17 seconds, athletes build the core strength and endurance necessary to hold their approach position with ease, ultimately leading to better rotation over the bar.

Recap and Coaching Invitation00:06:26

The drill improves momentum and helps maintain the necessary body angle for successful jumping. Dantavius concludes by offering personal coaching consultations for athletes looking to improve their performance.
