When it comes to improving your standing precision jumps, focusing on a specific target can make all the difference. Many people often find themselves feeling disoriented or losing their focus during jumps, especially when they’re faced with something daunting. The trick lies in keeping your eyes fixed on one small point on your landing spot. This not only serves as your visual anchor but also helps combat any moments of panic or disconnection that could occur during a jump.

To utilize this technique effectively, choose a small mark at your landing spot before you jump. When you’re ready to take off, constantly maintain your gaze on that mark. If there isn’t a natural mark available, bringing a piece of chalk to create your own target can be incredibly helpful. By having this focus point, you’re less likely to experience that rare phenomenon where fear causes a momentary blackout, where your brain may not fully register the middle of the jump. Concentrating on your target directs your attention, making it much easier to execute the jump smoothly.

In summary, the key to mastering standing precision jumps is maintaining a consistent focus on a specific target. This simple yet effective technique can prevent feeling overwhelmed and helps retain mental clarity throughout the jump. By preparing with a clear focus point, you set yourself up for a better performance, reducing anxiety and enhancing your ability to land successfully.

  • Choose a small, clear mark on your landing spot to focus on during jumps.
  • If needed, create your own mark with chalk for better focus.
  • Keep your gaze fixed on the target to prevent moments of disconnection or panic.

my landing spot and I just keep focused

on that thing so my eye focus is on one

particular Mark and even if there's not
22.039
a mark sometimes I carry chalk and I'll
24.24
make a chalk mark on it so that will

find that they will black out for like a
53.64
millisecond like they'll do a scary
55.879
scary jump and what will happen is
59.44
they'll kind of of not realize they've
62.039
already got there or they they'll sort

only really happens when you're doing
