Video Details

When engaging in activities that involve running jumps, it is emphasized that landing does not always need to be the primary focus. Maintaining momentum and fluidity in movement can sometimes take precedence over a precise landing. This is particularly relevant when tackling larger jumps or distances that may invoke a sense of fear, as concentrating solely on landing can hinder the overall experience and performance.

Building confidence in jumping over time is crucial, and one does not necessarily need to scale down the difficulty, height, or distance of a jump to gain that assurance. Instead, working through the fear of making the jump and ensuring a smooth execution can lead to better results. Achieving a successful jump often means prioritizing the challenge of the jump itself rather than becoming overly concerned with landing accuracy.

Ultimately, the key is to cultivate a mindset that embraces the jump and its inherent challenges. It’s important to approach each jump with a focus on overcoming mental barriers and to have the confidence to take off from the starting point. A balanced approach can lead to greater accomplishments in performing these jumps effectively.

Key Points:

  1. Maintaining momentum and flow is more important than focusing purely on landing accuracy during running jumps.
  2. Overcoming fears related to jumping should take precedence over reducing jump size or difficulty.
  3. Developing confidence in jumping comes from embracing the challenge and prioritizing the execution of the jump itself.

The Lesson

The tenth level is to demonstrate a single-leg running jump over a hip-height gap that is nine steps (heel-to-toe) away.

You can now take as many steps into the running jump as required to cover the distance.

Any landing is accepted.

You must repeat three times on each leg.

so sometimes when you are doing a
7.2
running jump um actually you don't need
9.639
to land you don't need to do the
11.48
Precision you're just going to carry on
14.24
um you know you you want to go and do
16.92
another running jump and you know you
18.72
want to keep the flow going this is
20.88
completely fine too um and generally
24.599
when you're doing much bigger jumps and
27.439
you know your max distances and oh you
30.08
know just things that scare you um this
33.719
inevitably means that you're going to
35.84
start focusing Less on the landing and
38.559
you just want to get across uh this is
41.079
okay um build up to the Precision
45.52
Landing obviously but U to overcome that
48.64
fear sometimes um you can't you you you
52.44
can't reduce the size you can't reduce
54.48
the height you just got to focus on
57.96
overcoming the fear of doing that
60.68
distance and doing that jump um so yeah
65.96
don't always worry about the landing
68.2
it's more about the jump and overcoming
70.56
the jump so I'm going to give this one a
72.32
go let's do this jump and I'm going to
76
take off run do a running jump take off
78.84
from here I'm looking at the takeoff
80.759
Point first and land on this side um
84.56
it's not huge but with a little bit of
87
height and it's concrete obviously um
89.6
can be be scary and yeah let's give that
93.2
one a go

00:00:05,000 --> 00:00:09,000
so sometimes when you are doing a

2
00:00:07,000 --> 00:00:11,000
running jump um actually you don't need

3
00:00:09,000 --> 00:00:13,000
to land you don't need to do the

Precision you're just going to carry on

5
00:00:14,000 --> 00:00:18,000
um you know you you want to go and do

6
00:00:16,000 --> 00:00:19,000
another running jump and you know you

7
00:00:18,000 --> 00:00:23,000
want to keep the flow going this is

8
00:00:20,000 --> 00:00:26,000
completely fine too um and generally

00:00:24,000 --> 00:00:29,000
when you're doing much bigger jumps and

10
00:00:27,000 --> 00:00:33,000
you know your max distances and oh you

know just things that scare you um this

12
00:00:33,000 --> 00:00:37,000
inevitably means that you're going to

13
00:00:35,000 --> 00:00:40,000
start focusing Less on the landing and

14
00:00:38,000 --> 00:00:44,000
you just want to get across uh this is

15
00:00:41,000 --> 00:00:48,000
okay um build up to the Precision

16
00:00:45,000 --> 00:00:51,000
Landing obviously but U to overcome that

17
00:00:48,000 --> 00:00:53,000
fear sometimes um you can't you you you

18
00:00:52,000 --> 00:00:57,000
can't reduce the size you can't reduce

19
00:00:54,000 --> 00:01:00,000
the height you just got to focus on

20
00:00:57,000 --> 00:01:05,000
overcoming the fear of doing that

21
00:00:60,000 --> 00:01:07,000
distance and doing that jump um so yeah

22
00:00:65,000 --> 00:01:09,000
don't always worry about the landing

23
00:00:68,000 --> 00:01:12,000
it's more about the jump and overcoming

24
00:00:70,000 --> 00:01:15,000

25
00:00:72,000 --> 00:01:18,000
go let's do this jump and I'm going to

26
00:00:76,000 --> 00:01:20,000
take off run do a running jump take off

27
00:00:78,000 --> 00:01:23,000
from here I'm looking at the takeoff

28
00:00:80,000 --> 00:01:26,000
