— Denver's Only Jump-Specific Training Center
jumping,
studied and coached.
Biomechanics. Rhythm. Elite takeoff mechanics.
We don't just practice jumping — we study it. Every session is built around the details that separate athletes who clear bars and hit boards from those who don’t.
— About mile high jumps
built from a deep love For the events
Mile High Jumps was created out of a deep love and respect for jumping events. Founder Kelly Faulkner is a former Division I high jumper who has spent years studying the biomechanics, rhythm, and physics that make great jumpers successful — across every jump.
High jump is our bread and butter and the foundation the club was built on. But the principles that make a great high jumper — approach rhythm, penultimate mechanics, elastic strength, body control — are the same principles that make great long jumpers and triple jumpers. Mile High Jumps coaches all three.
Whether you're new to the event or chasing personal records, Mile High Jumps provides focused, high-quality coaching in a small group environment where every athlete receives individual attention.
“I study high jump constantly — film, takeoff angles, approach rhythm, posture, biomechanics. The more I learn, the more I love coaching.”
Every rep counts
Small groups, big results
built for competition
— Coaching Philosophy
It's Not Just About
Jumping Higher or farther.
It's about rhythm. Posture. Timing. And understanding how the body produces and transfers force. Every session is designed around these fundamentals — so athletes don't just improve, they understand why they're improving.

Kelly Faulkner is a former Division I high jumper and the founder of Mile High Jumps. She combines her background as a collegiate jumper with years of coaching experience and a deep passion for studying the biomechanics of every jumping event.
Her coaching approach blends technical expertise with a strong understanding of movement, force production, and athletic development. Kelly believes the jumps are among the most technical and fascinating events in track and field — and her mission is to help athletes unlock the details that let them jump higher, jump farther, move better, and compete with confidence.
“The more I learn about this event, the more I love coaching it. I want every athlete to feel that same curiosity — to understand not just how to jump, but why it works.”
Programs for every level
Mile High Jumps is now located at Landow Performance. Registration for summer group training and 1:1 sessions are officially live!
Fundamentals of jumping — coordination, rhythm, body control, and high jump technique in a fun, supportive environment.
We build the movement vocabulary that makes technical development easier as athletes grow and compete.
Technical development focused on approach mechanics, takeoff timing, and bar clearance — in-season and off-season.
Ideal for athletes looking to improve performance or build skills and elastic strength between seasons.
1:1 or small group training for athletes seeking highly individualized technical coaching and accelerated development.
The fastest way to address specific mechanics, fix persistent technical issues, and jump with real confidence.
