[01]Phases we analyze

Every phase of long jump, broken out

Approach

Stride length consistency and acceleration pattern.

Penultimate

Lowering the center of mass into takeoff.

Takeoff

Board contact, free leg drive, arms, takeoff angle.

Flight

Hang, hitch-kick, or sail, body position in air.

Landing

Heel drop, hip projection, landing form.

Why it's different

AI that actually understands long jump

Generic video tools look at "a person moving." We built a model specifically around long jump. the phases, the mechanics, and the coaching language real long jump coaches use.

Upload the rep. We extract the critical frames. You get a breakdown in plain English with priority tags. critical, worth working on, fine.

  • Event-specific phase detection
  • Priority-tagged coaching notes (critical / important / minor)
  • Cause-and-effect frame markers
  • Follow-up AI coach chat on every analysis

[03]Common long jump mistakes

The three errors the AI flags most often

These are the technique patterns we see over and over again across long jump athletes. Each one has a specific look on video and a specific fix.

01
Fault Pattern · 01

Reaching at the board

Observed on video

You overstride at the takeoff board to 'hit' it, landing heel-first and creating a braking force that kills takeoff speed.

Prescribed fix

Approach-accuracy drills from a short-run start, focus on running through the board rather than reaching for it.

02
Fault Pattern · 02

Knees collapsing at takeoff

Observed on video

Your drive knee doesn't punch up at takeoff, flattening the jump and cutting distance.

Prescribed fix

Single-leg bounding and low-box jumps with a high knee-drive focus.

03
Fault Pattern · 03

Folding forward in flight

Observed on video

You collapse your torso forward mid-flight, landing early and short.

Prescribed fix

Hang-position drills on a high bar, focus on staying tall and extended through peak.

Real athletes

Used by long jump athletes at every level

From freshman long jump to D1 rosters, athletes upload phone video and get the same frame-by-frame coaching read. The AI doesn't grade you. it explains what it sees, in the vocabulary a real long jump coach would use.

  • Every level, freshman to D1
  • Same AI model, same vocabulary
  • Practice reps, meet reps, warm-ups. all fair game
  • Works with any phone, any angle
[10]Common questions

Long Jump FAQ

Does it work for hang or hitch-kick style?
Yes. The AI detects your flight style and analyzes accordingly.
Can it measure my takeoff accuracy?
It flags when takeoff is off the board and estimates by how much.
How do I hit the board more consistently?
The AI identifies which step of your approach is variable across attempts, and whether the drift is stride length or stride rate. Fixes are specific to the pattern.
What's the best takeoff angle for long jump?
18-22 degrees for most competitive jumpers. The AI estimates takeoff angle from side-on video and flags when it's too flat or too vertical.
Can I analyze approach run-throughs without jumping?
Yes. Approach-only clips are useful for diagnosing penultimate consistency before adding a jump.
