[01]Fix My Triple Jump Form

What an AI triple jump form check actually shows you

Phase-by-phase break

Your triple jump broken into the phases coaches grade. AI tells you which phase is costing you the most and why.

Specific frames, not impressions

When a coach says "your form is off," you don't always know where. AI marks the exact frame the error appears, with a coaching note attached.

Drill prescribed for the error

Every flagged error comes with the drill that targets it. No generic homework, no guessing what to work on next session.

Form check, in 60 seconds

What an AI form check tells you about your triple jump

You'll see priority-tagged technique notes, the specific frames where the form breaks, and the drill that targets each issue. It's a full triple jump form check in under a minute, the kind you'd pay an expensive remote coach for.

[01]Most-flagged errors

The mistakes coaches see most often

Each fault below is described two ways: how it looks on video (so you can recognize it on your own clips) and the drill or cue that fixes it. AI form check identifies these patterns in the same frames a coach would.

01
Fault Pattern · 01

Over-long hop phase

Observed on video

Your hop is 38%+ of total distance, depleting the energy you need for the step and jump.

Prescribed fix

Short-run triple-jump drills from a 6-step approach, constraining the hop length with a taped target.

02
Fault Pattern · 02

Passive step phase

Observed on video

Your step phase is a landing rather than an active drive, killing horizontal momentum before the jump.

Prescribed fix

Step-phase bounding drills with emphasis on a knee-drive cue off the ground contact.

03
Fault Pattern · 03

Collapsing knee on the jump

Observed on video

Your final takeoff knee gives way instead of punching up, flattening the jump phase.

Prescribed fix

Single-leg box jumps and heavy-single-leg strength work.

[01]Phase by phase

The full triple jump sequence, broken down

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.

01
Phase 01 / 05

Approach

16-22 stride approach building to controllable max velocity. Less aggressive board-aim than long jump (need to balance speed with three takeoffs).

Cue"Tall, accelerating, consistent."
TargetLast-5m speed: 9.5+ m/s elite men, 8.5+ elite women.
FramesMid-approach, last 3 strides.
FailureDecelerating before the board.
02
Phase 02 / 05

Hop takeoff

Same-leg takeoff and landing. Should preserve horizontal velocity (loss < 1.2 m/s in elite). Lowest takeoff angle of the three phases.

Cue"Drive forward, not up. Same leg lands."
TargetHop velocity 8.4-8.86 m/s (elite). Takeoff angle ~14 deg. Hop distance ~33% of total.
FramesBoard contact, peak hop, hop landing.
FailureJumping too high in hop (loses horizontal speed). Largest velocity loss occurs here (1.13 m/s mean).
03
Phase 03 / 05

Step takeoff

Opposite-leg takeoff and landing. The 'flat' phase, designed to lose minimal velocity while maintaining rhythm. ~30% of total distance.

Cue"Active foot strike. Drive other knee forward."
TargetStep velocity 7.58-8.22 m/s (elite). Step distance ~30% of total. Active landing critical.
FramesHop landing/step takeoff, peak step, step landing.
FailurePassive landing (heel hits, brake). Too much vertical.
04
Phase 04 / 05

Jump takeoff

Same-leg takeoff (same as step landing leg). Highest takeoff angle of the three. Maximum vertical drive. ~37% of total distance for jump-dominant style.

Cue"Pop up. Last chance to get distance."
TargetJump velocity 6.46-7.34 m/s. Jump distance ~37% (jump-dominant). Highest takeoff angle.
FramesStep landing/jump takeoff, mid-jump, landing.
FailureForward fall in flight (no vertical drive).
05
Phase 05 / 05

Flight and landing

Hang or sail in the air; heel landing ahead of CoM. Same as long jump.

Cue"Tall in the air, heel up at landing."
TargetHeel 5-15 cm ahead of CoM at touchdown.
FramesMid-flight, landing contact.
FailureForward fall costs distance.

Fix My Triple Jump Form FAQ

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

How does AI triple jump form check work?
Upload a video of your rep. The AI extracts the critical frames for triple jump specifically, identifies the phase each one represents, and flags any technique errors with a priority tag and a written explanation.
How accurate is AI form check for triple jump?
The AI is built around triple jump-specific mechanics and uses the same coaching vocabulary your coach uses. It catches the technique errors that show up most often in triple jump, plus the typical fix for each one.
Can AI form check replace a coach?
No, but it covers the gap between coaching sessions. Most athletes use it for tape review between practices and bring the AI's notes to their in-person coach for context.
What kind of triple jump video works best for form check?
Side-on, landscape, 20-40 feet away, with the full rep in frame. A normal iPhone video at practice is exactly what the system was built for.
Is the form check private?
Yes. Videos and analyses are tied to your device. We don't post anything publicly, share with other users, or train models on your uploads.
