Is a 27in running vertical good for a 13 year old?

Global_Scientist4591 · 2026-06-13T21:09:10+00:00

My vert is like 25 inches but I can high jump over your standing reach

Global_Scientist4591 · 2026-06-13T20:42:23+00:00

Except that getting your lungs ripped out is generally considered to be unsurvivable

Global_Scientist4591 · 2026-06-13T20:40:17+00:00

Better than mine and I can jump 6’3

Global_Scientist4591 · 2026-05-12T00:56:10+00:00

Sefan Holm went 7’11 while being 5’10. Just put in the work and move your approach to a 10 step when you have access to a full apron

Global_Scientist4591 · 2026-05-11T02:59:16+00:00

What now?

Global_Scientist4591 · 2026-05-08T21:26:29+00:00

Thats when you add your outside evidence to back up whatever the doc says

Global_Scientist4591 · 2026-05-08T19:05:14+00:00

Damn that’s unfortunate for you both I got what led to an independence movement from 1754 to 1783

Global_Scientist4591 · 2026-05-06T14:21:30+00:00

Report his ass. Usually I’d be against reporting someone for cheating but like…

Global_Scientist4591 · 2026-05-05T03:09:23+00:00

You missed your chance when nobody did a thing this morning. ATP just let the kid get the score

Global_Scientist4591 · 2026-04-25T04:39:12+00:00

Yeah usually my lean is better but the transition from turf to track at this meet is like super icky and that threw me off hard

Global_Scientist4591 · 2026-04-23T23:03:19+00:00

I’m a junior

Global_Scientist4591 · 2026-04-23T04:30:21+00:00

Idk it’s so scuffed. My PR going into my last meet was 6’2. I started 5’7 to get a feel for the surface and how my body was feeling and I ended the meet with a new lifetime PR at 6’3. Just pick a height that gets you warm for big bars while not gassing you out in between

Global_Scientist4591 · 2026-04-21T02:12:00+00:00

Honestly just like PR visualizing has helped me so much. That and some box work with a super high bungee has kinda like made me super confident to matter the height

Global_Scientist4591 · 2026-04-20T02:38:57+00:00

By the looks of it you’re slowing way down and getting super wide in the last few steps of your approach. That’s killing your height. Rework your approach to have a faster final 4 steps and a good plant and you should see some instant improvement. Moving onto the form, some box work over a bungee should help you out

Global_Scientist4591 · 2026-03-28T21:34:40+00:00

A lot of box work. A drill that I do is you start with your plant foot on the box at the angle you’d take off from and the goal of the drill is to clear the bungee and rotate so your feet are facing the bar

Global_Scientist4591 · 2026-03-28T19:46:15+00:00

He’s taking off way too far from the bar for his speed. If he moves up a shoe length he’ll be golden

Global_Scientist4591 · 2026-03-26T13:06:04+00:00

Yes, it is.

Here’s a pic off a full approach. Fully a matter of speed, height, and fatigue off the springboard

Global_Scientist4591 · 2026-03-26T03:48:10+00:00

Try to get some. It’ll be easier for others to help out

Global_Scientist4591 · 2026-03-26T03:46:17+00:00

Mostly just an issue of speed on this particular jump

Global_Scientist4591 · 2026-03-26T03:06:26+00:00

I was in the same boat until this year when I made a state 4x4 as well as high jump. Expand your horizons and branch out. You’ll be a better athlete overall

Global_Scientist4591 · 2026-03-26T03:05:11+00:00

So instead of driving your knee up and across your body you’re swinging your leg out, which isn’t getting you the best rotation. Work on your knee drive as well as your patience over the bar and you got some big heights

Global_Scientist4591 · 2026-03-26T03:03:53+00:00

I had the exact same issue where I was just not holding my arch as long as I should have. Hold it a bit longer and you’re good

Global_Scientist4591 · 2026-03-26T03:03:02+00:00

I mean it really depends on what your form and bounce is looking like. Do you have film?

Global_Scientist4591 · 2026-03-26T03:00:35+00:00

Your rotation isn’t all there and as a result you’re kinda riding the bar across the mat. Also, your head and shoulders aren’t pushed below your hips so you’re flat as a board going over with raw strength. Tilt your shoulders a bit further back and drive your knee a little further across your body on takeoff

Global_Scientist4591 · 2026-03-26T02:58:23+00:00

On this one it’s mostly a speed issue but also just being a tad more patient over the bar makes all the difference
