Method: Mastering Your Form
1. Use your forward foot to push off at the start of the runway. Usually, this foot will be your non-dominant foot, but go with whatever is most comfortable for you. Lean forward at about a 45-degree angle as you start your approach.
2. Move into an upright sprinting position as you accelerate. After a few strides down the runway, your body should be horizontal and erect. Bend your arms at 90-degree angles.

3. Lower your center of gravity on the second-to-last step before takeoff. Place your leading foot flat on the ground and flex your ankle and knee.
4. Don’t freeze on the last step. You want to continue accelerating as you go into the takeoff. Slowing down on the last step will ruin your momentum and shorten the distance you jump. As you take your last step before takeoff, briefly place your foot flat on the takeoff board.
5. Push yourself into the air using your foot on the ground. This will be the foot you planted on the takeoff board. Remain upright as you jump. Swing your leading knee and the opposite arm into the air to increase your lift. Keep looking straight ahead.
Make sure your foot is flat on the ground as you jump. You’ll jump further off a flat foot as opposed to your toes or heel.

6. Lift your legs up as you prepare to land. With your legs bent, lift your knees up toward your upper torso. Swing your arms down in front of you.
7. Use your arms to steady yourself when you hit the sand. Your feet should be the first thing to come into contact with the sand at the end of the runway. As the rest of your body comes into contact with the sand, place your arms down in the pit and hold yourself up so you don’t fall back.
In this method, I told you how to improve your long jump technique. Tomorrow is the last method, Method 3.
