Active ground contacts are absolutely paramount if you want to be a successful sprinter. Why do I do ladder drills? It promotes active ground contacts!

We made a call to action for our jumpers and throwers, and in just one day we received support. Imagine what we could accomplish if we worked together consistently!

When athletes, coaches, parents, and supporters unite behind a common goal, great things happen. One voice can start a movement, but a community working together can change the future of our sport.

This isn’t a pity party it’s reality! The JUMPS & THROWS need help! Every event group has a professional backing, middle distance, sprints and even pole vaulters. No horizontal or vertical Jumps support unless you’re the very best in the world. SMDH!

“If we don’t start investing in and supporting USA jumpers, the future of our horizontal jumps program could be in serious trouble at future Olympic Games. Talent alone isn’t enough. Athletes need coaching, development opportunities, competition exposure, sports science, and long-term support. The nations that invest the most in their jumpers will be the nations standing on the podium.”
