Cues, not corrections
"Drive your knee" beats "your knee was a little low." Cue-based coaching gets the change to happen in the next rep, not the next month. AI prescribes cues for what it sees, not just diagnostic notes.
Long Jump tips are everywhere. Most are generic. Here are the cues real long jump coaches use, short, specific, and tied to the phase of the rep where they apply. Pair them with AI form check and you have a feedback loop that closes.
"Drive your knee" beats "your knee was a little low." Cue-based coaching gets the change to happen in the next rep, not the next month. AI prescribes cues for what it sees, not just diagnostic notes.
Most athletes try to fix three things at once and fix none. Pick one cue per rep, see what it does, then iterate. The AI surfaces the one cue that would close the biggest gap in your long jump.
A cue is only useful if it triggers in the right phase. "Heel down" means nothing without a moment to apply it. Each AI tip is timestamped to the phase of long jump it belongs to.
Generic tip lists are everywhere. Tips tied to your specific form errors are not. Upload a clip and AI returns the 1-3 cues that would change the most in your long jump, ranked by impact.
Follow up in chat and ask questions. The AI remembers your analysis and speaks the language of long jump coaching.
Each phase has a coaching cue, a measurable target, the frames a coach pauses on, and the failure mode AI flags most often. Use it as a self-diagnostic checklist on every video.
14-22 strides building from drive to controllable max velocity. Speed at the board is the single biggest predictor of jump distance (r=0.86 vs distance in elite women).
Second-to-last step lowers the CoM ~9 cm to load for the takeoff drive. The penultimate step is 12.2% longer than the last step in elite jumpers.
Foot grounded on the board with active strike (not a reach). Free leg drives knee high; arms swing up. The optimum takeoff angle is ~21 deg for elite men.
Hang: body extended, arms up. Hitchkick: cycling motion (1-2 cycles). Sail: simplest, both legs forward (HS-level). Choice depends on hang time and skill.
Heel lands first, ahead of CoM. Hips slide past the heels (no fall back).
