The triple jump is a highly specialized discipline that I have been dedicated to for over twenty years, focusing specifically on sprinting and jumping techniques.
In the past
year, there have been significant advancements in this discipline. When you
look at the world's top jumpers, you'll notice that they are all Cuban, even
though they represent other nations.
This is because
of their exceptional technique, especially in terms of rhythm, ground reaction,
and superior bounding. This technique gives the athlete perfect coordination
and creates the ideal time and space between each jump, allowing them to
achieve great distances.
To develop this
technique, an athlete needs to engage in extensive plyometric exercises
tailored for triple jumpers. While some may argue that plyometrics are the same
for everyone, I believe that they are unique to each athlete.
There are many
online videos explaining how to perform specific exercises to improve your
technique, but achieving distances of 17m+ for men and 14.50m+ for women
requires more than just following generic exercise guides.
During each
training session, the athlete needs to focus on improving their technique and
work diligently on the basics of this discipline until he can master it, which
is essential even for professional athletes.
