[01]Triple Jump Drills

Triple Jump drills that target your specific errors

Drills tied to your form errors

Generic drill lists don't tell you which drill to do this week. Our AI identifies the specific error in your triple jump and matches the drill that addresses it.

Phase-specific work

Block-start drills, plant drills, release drills. Triple Jump broken down by phase, train the phase that's holding back the rest of the rep.

Re-test on video

After a drill block, upload another rep. The AI tells you whether the error closed up, or whether more reps of the drill are needed.

Drill prescription

Triple Jump drills, prescribed by what AI sees

Run the drills, re-test the form on video, repeat. Triple Jump drills become measurable, you can see in the next analysis whether the error closed up, instead of guessing.

Core triple jump drills, with what they teach

These drills come from coaching practice (Dahlman, Petrov-Bubka tradition, Slippery Rock camps). Each card lists the phase it targets, the method, what to watch for, and a prescribed rep volume.

Phase rhythm DRL · 01

Standing triple jump

Teaches

Hop-step-jump pattern at low speed.

Method

From a stand, perform the three takeoffs into the pit. No approach.

Watch for

Phases not distinct; rushing.

Prescribed volume 8-10 per session.
Hop phase DRL · 02

Single-leg bounding

Teaches

Same-leg power and rhythm.

Method

20 m of single-leg bounds, alternating legs each set.

Watch for

Vertical bounce instead of horizontal drive.

Prescribed volume 3 sets of 20 m each leg.
Step phase DRL · 03

Alternate-leg bounding

Teaches

Quick alternating drive.

Method

20 m of alternating leg bounds, focus on flat trajectory.

Watch for

Too high; passive landing.

Prescribed volume 3 sets of 20 m.
Full sequence DRL · 04

Short-approach triple

Triple Jump Drills FAQ

Five common questions about triple jump that come up in coaching.

How does the AI pick triple jump drills for me?
Each technique error the AI flags is mapped to the drill that targets that specific phase. So if it spots a takeoff issue, you get takeoff drills, not a generic warm-up list.
Are these triple jump drills standard?
Yes. The drills we prescribe are the same ones triple jump coaches use at the high school and college level. Nothing exotic, nothing made up.
How do I know if a drill is working?
Re-test on video after a drill block. The AI compares the form before and after, and tells you whether the flagged error closed up.
Can I see triple jump drills without uploading a video?
The variant pages list common drill themes, but the value of the AI is matching drills to your specific form errors, which requires a video.
What's the best filming setup for triple jump drill work?
Same as for full reps: side-on, landscape, 20-40 feet away. A phone on a tripod or a teammate holding the camera is enough.
