— the events we coach
high jump.
long jump.
triple jump.
Mile High Jumps coaches all three horizontal and vertical jumps. High jump is our specialty and the heart of the club, but the same biomechanical principles — approach rhythm, penultimate mechanics, elastic strength, and body control — translate directly to long jump and triple jump. Whichever event your athlete competes in, we have a program for them.
High jump is deceptasdfasdfasdf.
The long jump is deceptively simple and devastatingly technical. Every inch comes down to how fast you arrive at the board, how efficiently you convert that speed into lift, and how your body positions itself through the air and into the pit.
Three contacts. Three chances to lose momentum — or keep it. The triple jump is the most rhythmically demanding event in track and field, requiring elastic stiffness, body control, and the ability to maintain speed and posture through each phase.
The event Mile High Jumps was founded on. Coach Kelly is a former Division I high jumper who has spent years breaking down the curve approach, penultimate step, plant mechanics, and bar clearance. Whether your athlete is brand new to the Fosbury Flop or chasing a personal record, our high jump program meets them where they are.
What we focus on: J-curve approach design, penultimate lowering, plant and drive mechanics, arch and bar clearance, in-season competition prep.
Long jump rewards speed, rhythm, and a precise takeoff — the same fundamentals we teach in high jump, applied horizontally. Our long jump program builds consistent approach runs, develops a powerful penultimate-to-takeoff transition, and trains in-air body control for efficient landings.
What we focus on: Approach consistency and check marks, board accuracy, penultimate mechanics, takeoff angle, hitch-kick and hang techniques, landing efficiency.
Triple jump is the most rhythmically demanding event in track and field — three takeoffs, three landings, one continuous flow. Our triple jump program focuses on phase ratios, ground contact mechanics, and the elastic strength required to bound efficiently from hop to step to jump.
What we focus on: Phase rhythm and ratios, active ground contacts, posture through the bounds, arm action, and the strength training needed to handle triple jump loads safely.

not sure which event is right?
Many of the athletes we coach compete in multiple jumps, and the skills transfer in both directions. If you're not sure where your athlete fits — or you'd like to train across events — reach out and we'll help you build a plan.
