Book Description
Maximize your jumping potential with Complete Book of Jumps!
Coaches Ed Jacoby and Bob Fraley draw on their combined 60 years of coaching experience to help long jumpers, triple jumpers, high jumpers, and pole vaulters achieve new personal records. They break down each event into key phases--from approach to landing--to teach proper jumping technique and to show jumpers how to avoid common technical flaws. They also provide a strength and development program specifically for jumpers and 16 event-specific workouts that fine-tune skills.
Use the practical, proven techniques in Complete Book of Jumps to go higher and farther than the competition.
From the Publisher
"A sound coaching aid that has the same principles Coach Jacoby and Coach Fraley have taught to me. If I were to start over as athlete or coach, I would use this book as a reference for everything from workouts to technical work."
Tim Bright Olympian, Decathlon/Pole Vault
"For those who are not fortunate enough to have Coach Jacoby or Coach Fraley as their own personal coach, this book is the next best thing."
Cindy Greiner Olympian, Heptathlon
"I would recommend coaches at all levels read this book. It points out the field event techniques that make champions and, more importantly, what techniques must be emphasized for success in each event."
Mel Rosen Men's Head Coach, 1992 U.S. Olympic Team
"I love this ‘cookbook' approach. If something isn't working right, simply find the pages in the book to help correct the problem. On the other hand, if things are going well, Complete Book of Jumps is the place to go to locate the next logical step in the learning curve."
Dixon Farmer Chairman, USA Track & Field Men's Development Committee Head Track and Field Coach, Gustavus Adolphus College
