Fault diagnosis and correction in jumps technique

As previously written, I am currently organizing a series of workshops here in London in July and August, aimed at providing my specialist advice and training on Long Jump/ Triple Jump technique to developing athletes who are struggling to make improvements in their performance.

I have worked as a professional coach internationally for the past 25 years, and have spent the last 4 years here in the UK. I have had many young athletes contact me for private 1-1 coaching, as they know that they have excellent potential, but are failing to make progress in their performance. I always begin my training with an analysis of the athlete’s technique, and I'm finding that I am coming up against the same types of problems again and again, problems which are quite simply linked to a lack of an understanding of the very basis of Jumps Technique, and without a correct basis, the athlete can train as they like at running and jumping, but no progress will be made.

 After a diagnosis session, I spend the next session giving advice as to what the athlete is doing wrong in their technique, and go on to advise the corrections that I recommend. Usually they are completely astonished at how much they need to learn and correct, and are equally delighted with the improvements they make, once the corrections are implemented in further training with me.

Here in my blog, I would like to write over the coming weeks about some of the problem areas I am coming up against in working with UK athletes, and will offer some advice as to how these problems might be corrected. Hopefully this will offer insights and advice to aspiring athletes who may not have access to specialist training, but of course nothing beats having face – to – face coaching, and anyone interested in 1-1 or group coaching here in London, can contact me directly at panicoach@gmail.com.

I am also available to travel to coach internationally, and if you are interested in this please contact me with your details.
