Jen W. | High Jump
Your 1.75m clearance reflects strong approach speed and smooth early curve mechanics. Your next improvement comes from building the lean earlier, preparing a stronger penultimate step, and controlling heel clearance as you pass over the bar.
Your Four Performance Results
Jen’s cleared height, immediate opportunity, development range, and long-term jumping target.
Your highest-value improvement is clearance timing
Your approach speed supports a higher bar. The difference between clearing 1.75m and missing at 1.79m is most evident in the timing of your curve lean, penultimate loading, and heel position as your body moves over the bar.
Bar Progression & Clearance
Your attempts show strong progression to 1.75m and a repeatable heel-clearance issue at 1.79m.
| Bar height | Feet / inches | Attempt 1 | Attempt 2 | Attempt 3 | Race-day observation |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1.68 | 5′6″ | O | — | — | Comfort clearance; clean heel timing. |
| 1.72 | 5′7.75″ | O | — | — | Stable curve and consistent takeoff. |
| 1.75 | 5′8.75″ | X | O | — | Cleared on attempt two; hips +4.2 cm, heels +1.1 cm. |
| 1.79 | 5′10.5″ | X | X | X | Heel contact during descent; 0.14-second descent-above-bar interval. |

Your 12-Step Approach
Approach-speed progression
Peak speed arrives at step 8. Your final approach sequence needs to preserve speed while preparing the body for a controlled vertical takeoff.
Approach profile
Your movement into the curve should progressively build inward lean rather than placing the final rotation demand on your takeoff step.
Step-by-step approach
| Step | Phase | Step length | Speed |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Straight | 2.70 m | 11.4 mph |
| 2 | Straight | 2.92 m | 12.3 mph |
| 3 | Straight | 3.10 m | 13.2 mph |
| 4 | Straight | 3.22 m | 14.0 mph |
| 5 | Straight | 3.28 m | 14.7 mph |
| 6 | Curve | 3.30 m | 15.2 mph |
| 7 | Curve | 3.33 m | 15.7 mph |
| 8 | Curve | 3.34 m | 16.1 mph |
| 9 | Curve | 3.30 m | 15.9 mph |
| 10 | Curve | 3.18 m | 15.7 mph |
| 11 | Penultimate | 3.34 m | 15.6 mph |
| 12 | Takeoff | 2.61 m | 15.5 mph |
Running Arc & Direction Control
Approach arc
Your line enters the final curve slightly straighter than the preferred approach, with greater correction demanded near takeoff.
Curve-control measurements
Shift the lean two steps earlier
Your lean begins at step 9. The training target is to establish it by step 7, so the final approach stays organized and your rotation develops before the takeoff foot reaches the ground.
Takeoff, Flight & Heel Clearance
Flight trajectory and bar timing
At 1.79m, your heels remain in the bar plane longer as descent begins. This is the primary difference between the two outcomes.
Make versus miss
Additional flight and landing analysis
| Movement marker | Clearance at 1.75m | Miss at 1.79m |
|---|---|---|
| Takeoff lateral offset | +0.16 m | +0.22 m |
| Penultimate shin angle | 16° | 14° |
| COM peak height · relative | +0.76 m | +0.78 m |
| Time to COM peak | 0.33 s | 0.36 s |
| Rotation completion | 91% | 86% |
| Landing drift · right | 0.38 m | 0.44 m |
The missed jump does not show a simple shortage of peak body height. Your rotation and heel timing are less effective at the bar, despite an elevated center-of-mass trajectory.

Motion DNA™ Signature
Your individual jumping profile
Your speed and approach rhythm are strengths. Your movement signature highlights the need for earlier lean, more consistent penultimate loading, and better rotational timing over the bar.
What Closes the Gap
The physical and mechanical changes that can improve your result.
01 · Penultimate loading
Develop hips, glutes and quadriceps control so your center of mass lowers consistently in the final two steps.
02 · Curve posture
Improve trunk and lateral-hip stability to initiate inward lean earlier and preserve curve radius into takeoff.
03 · Flight timing
Coordinate takeoff extension, trunk rotation and heel clearance so the body completes the bar passage before descent.
Performance Development Plan
Your next performance targets and priorities for the next assessment.
Your next breakthrough is technical
Your 1.75m clearance demonstrates that you already have the approach speed to challenge higher bars. Better curve timing, stronger penultimate loading, and more precise heel clearance can help you convert that athletic ability into a higher successful jump.
