Today’s guest is Dave Kerin, USATF development, men’s and women’s high jump chair. Dave has been a contributor to Just Fly Sports in the past in the popular squat depth roundtable. Dave has worked with athletes of many levels, and has great results to his name, including a NCAA DIII championship record holder in high jump.

Dave has been a strong influence in my knowledge of high jump, particularly on what it takes to be good on an elite level, and what guys jumping over 2.40m are doing versus guys who are jumping less. Aside from this, Dave has been a fantastic contributor to generally applicable sport science concepts, such as his work : What is the most direct means to achieve strength gains specific to the demands of jumping events . Dave is a regular contributor to expert roundtables on the jumping events, and his knowledge of the biomechanics and training concepts for the track and field jumps can be useful for any coach.

On today’s podcast, we’ll get into many aspects of track jumps and related training, and ideas that can be universally applied.

Today’s episode is brought to you by SimpliFaster, supplier of high-end athletic development tools, such as the Freelap timing system, kBox, Sprint 1080, and more.
