Video Details

When it comes to mastering jumps and precision movements, it can often feel overwhelming to navigate the various challenges presented by different obstacles. To tackle this effectively, a handy tool involves using four gauges to simplify the assessment of any jump. By utilizing this approach, you can evaluate the technical difficulty, physical exertion required, your personal fear level, and your current energy levels all at once. This not only provides clarity on what you face but also personalizes the jump assessment, allowing a more tailored approach to training.

To use the four gauges, visualize them as four separate bar charts. The first gauge measures how technically difficult the jump is for you, while the second captures the physical effort required. The third gauge assesses how scared you feel about the jump, and the final one reviews your energy levels at that moment. For instance, a jump that feels easy for you might have low scores across all categories, while a more challenging jump may register higher on the technical or fear gauges. The key is to sum up these values—if a particularly daunting jump totals 25, you can experiment with alternative jumps that might yield values adding up to the same or greater, ensuring you're progressively challenged without risking unnecessary stress.

By employing this structured approach, you'll find that you can create preparation jumps that serve as stepping stones to your main target. If a jump feels intimidating due to high fear levels, consider adjusting the physicality or technical aspects of preparation jumps to better equip yourself mentally and physically. Overall, the four gauges can transform your training, offering insights that help you gradually build your confidence and skillset in a supportive way.

To recap the essential points:

  • Use four gauges to assess jumps: technical difficulty, physical exertion, fear level, and energy levels.
  • Sum the gauge values to compare jumps and create a structured approach to progressive difficulty.
  • Design prep jumps that focus on overcoming specific challenges while boosting confidence and readiness for main jumps.

all right a nice little tool I use in my
3.12
classes when I'm planning jumps and
5.879
precision jumps is using the four
9.36
gauges so imagine you've got four bar
14.28
charts one for how technically difficult
18.96
a jump is two would be how much physical
23.279
exertion do you have to put in three is
26.439
how scared are you of the jump and four
30
or how much energy do you have like are
32.52
you ready for this or not sometimes you
34.879
are some days you are sometimes you're
36.68
not and you this is a personal thing so
40.64
it's something that for you only you
43.239
can't compare against somebody else um
46
it's a personal thing so for instance uh
49.239
this small little gap for me is like a
53.399
technical one a physical one fear zero
58.16
and a uh um
61.16
energy one okay so this is super easy
66.76
for me to do however that for somebody
70
else maybe a new CER is going to be
73
different it's going to have different
74.799
values this on the other hand is
78.159
completely different
79.96
so for me this is maybe a technical not
84.68
quite so technical it's maybe a five uh
88.24
physical is going to be like a seven or
90.84
an eight uh fear again maybe four or
94.28
five and
96.159
energy um yeah about five or
99.52
six so for me this is a lot harder than
105.439
that where I'm going with with this
108.68
particular measurement
111.479
is sometimes you're scared of something
114.68
so let let's say for instance this here
117.6
is um adding up all the values so the um
123.039
let's say it was rounds up to
126.159
25 you can play with other jumps that
129.52
add up to 25 and maybe bump it up to 26
133.36
or 27 but in a different way so if this
137.8
jump for instance is
140.4
scary and the fear is the thing that's
143.36
adding the most to it I could do maybe a
147.4
less scary jump but physic
150.44
more uh energy is need or um more
153.8
physical power is needed or it's more
156.64
technical so for instance perhaps um
161.2
like jumping from the angle to angle
164.519
over the bin all right so it's a little
166.28
bit more technical you're landing on a
168.12
on a corner and um this particular jump
173.319
if I let's say added up to a 27 instead
177
of a 25 then this this is going to help
180.76
me break that if I complete this then
184.84
that is going to feel a little bit
186.68
easier so you can have like prep jumps
189.879
that help do the actual jump but they're
193.44
more
194.72
difficult play around with that concept
197.4
play around with that um idea of the
200.879
numbers and the gauge of remember it's
204.519
technical physical mental and energy and
209.4
it really will help especially for
211.2
coaches on overcoming particular jumps
215.84
and particular things in your uh
222.56
training

how scared are you of the jump and four

9
00:00:30,000 --> 00:00:34,000
or how much energy do you have like are

00:00:32,000 --> 00:00:36,000

technical one a physical one fear zero

18
00:00:58,000 --> 00:01:06,000
and a uh um

19
00:00:61,000 --> 00:01:09,000
energy one okay so this is super easy

20
00:00:66,000 --> 00:01:12,000
for me to do however that for somebody

00:00:70,000 --> 00:01:14,000

so for me this is maybe a technical not

26

27

physical is going to be like a seven or

28
00:00:90,000 --> 00:01:35,000
an eight uh fear again maybe four or

29
00:00:94,000 --> 00:01:39,000
five and

30
00:00:96,000 --> 00:01:45,000
energy um yeah about five or

31
00:00:99,000 --> 00:01:48,000

00:00:137,000 --> 00:01:82,000
jump for instance is

42
00:00:140,000 --> 00:01:87,000
scary and the fear is the thing that's

43
00:00:143,000 --> 00:01:90,000
adding the most to it I could do maybe a

00:00:147,000 --> 00:01:93,000
less scary jump but physic

45
00:00:150,000 --> 00:01:96,000
more uh energy is need or um more
