Tokyo 2020 olympic Triple jumper

If you're trying to jump for the US I think you're SOL just having fallen off the wagon and gotten out of the sport for a few years.

Hopefully you're in a STEM program and can join us hobby joggers when you get that sweet day job

Lol from HS jv to Tokyo.

Amusing premise and decent execution for a gonzo style troll

8/10

If your serious, "all the effort it takes" will include paying an actual jumper to whack you and assume your identity. In lieu of their own. Hopefully your parents will accept her.

love the doubt

i dont think so. i was out competitively I still kept in shape and such. 34 to 49 isnt a huge feat for me. all I need is strength and technique training

no to mention it wasnt a jv team we just werent a serious field team and I always started the season late. This year Ill increase to a 40- 40+ft jump and have until 2020 to get closer to 50ft

No reason not to try!

One thing that will be especially important to keep in mind considering the large improvements you want to make: if you feel an injury coming on, even a twinge or a little pain just take a day or two off. Don't let your ambition get the better of you. Jonathan Edwards' coach said that this, along with always training within himself, was one of the most important parts of his success

Good luck!

Start with smaller goals and see what happens. Try to get 38 and worry about the rest later.

All the good triple jumpers I knew were good from the first time they tried it. Coaching only did so much. 34 feet is quite good for a girl. I wouldn't expect coaching to get you 15 feet, but see what you can do and then set short-term goals.

Yea. The olympics of course is a major goal. I have short term goals for this year. I'm proving my technique jumping 38-40 and such.

Thank you, being so ambitious as well as. Ring out of the sport for a while I do have to remind myself that I do need rest days and to build a better base

Here are some really good articles on triple jump training for some more specifics:

Basics of conditioning might be good as you get back into it:
