• PROGRESS TEACHING FROM PART TO WHOLE--BEGINNERS NEED MORE WHOLE TRAINING AT BEGINNING-WATCH WHOLE THEN START TRAINING PART

• ALWAYS TECHNICALLY CORRECT

• TEACHING METHODS WILL VARY WITH PHASE OF TRAINING

• BODY MUST BE CONDUCIVE TO MOTOR LEARNING WHEN MOTOR LEARNING TAKES PLACE

• LEARNING STYLES VARY FROM INDIVIDUAL TO INDIVIDUAL

• SPATIAL, TEMPORAL & RHYTHMIC CUES ALL HAVE VALUE

COMMONALITY OF EVENTS

• UNDERSTAND SIMILARITIES--USE SIMILAR TERMINOLOGY

OPTIMAL VELOCITY

• EXTREMELY HIGH LEVELS OF COORDINATION ARE REQUIRED--NOT EFFICIENT WITH MECHANICS WITHOUT HIGH COORDINATION

• OPTIMAL VELOCITY IS SLIGHTLY LESS THAN MAXIMUM VELOCITY (TRAIN THESE AREAS)

  • MAXIMAL DESIRED VELOCITY CONSIDERATIONS

  • COORDINATION LEVEL

  • MAXIMUM VELOCITY

  • FREEDOM OF MOVEMENT AT HIGH VELOCITY

COMMONALITIES

1. OF THE APPROACH (THESE PHASES ARE IN ALL JUMPS)

• DRIVE PHASE--BUILDING MOMENTUM--FORCE PRODUCTION

  • LJ/T J-6 TO 8 STEPS--PV-6--HJ-2 TO3

• CONTINUATION PHASE-COMPLETE ACCELERATION PHASE-INTO UPRIGHT BODY POSITION

• TRANSITION PHASE (INTO TAKEOFF)--LAST 4 STEPS (WHERE MOST MISTAKES OCCUR

•  DISTRIBUTION OF ENERGY

• STEERING (PROCESS OF ADJUSTING STRIDE LENGTH TO HIT TARGET) ALWAYS HAPPENS

  • REPLICATION MINIMIZES AMOUNT OF STEERING REQUIRED

  • CONSISTENTLY AFFECT ACCELERATION-ACCELERATION MUST BE SMOOTH AND CONSISTENT

  • VISION/LOOK AT THE BOARD--SIGHT BOARD AS SOON AS ERECT AND THE SIGHT WITH LOWER PERIPHERAL VISION-MOST ADJUSTMENT TAKES PLACE IN LAST FOUR STRIDES

  • MECHANICS AND POSTURE

• FUNCTIONS

  • CONTROL ROTATION/ESTABLISH STABILITY

  • CONSERVE VELOCITY

  • LOWER COM OF THE BODY (PRACTICALLY ZERO IN THE T J)

• TECHNICAL FEATURES

  • LOCATION OF CONTACT-VERY SLIGHTLY IN FRONT

  • CONTACT-FULL WITH HEEL LEADING AND FINISHING WITH A BRIDGE (ROTATE TO TOES

• DISPLACEMENT-KEEP COVERING DISTANCE

• MISTAKES HERE AFFECT TAKEOFF

3. OF THE TAKEOFF

• TECHNICAL FEATURES
