What truly limits distance and height in elite jumping?

Not power.
Not elasticity.
Not technical cues.

In this episode, we examine the neural architecture behind approach velocity, projection, and take-off access.

Topics include:

• Protective braking in the final strides
• Curve compression in high jump
• Plant hesitation in pole vault
• The relationship between velocity and instability tolerance
• Why championship finals expose neural ceilings

The board does not create fear.
Exposure does.

If you coach or compete in the jumps, this episode will challenge how you diagnose “mistakes” at take-off.

Because take-off is an output.

Access is the variable.
