Am i good at running long jump?

Question

Hi i am 12 and i am in the 7th grade being 5'1. I have long legs and is the fastest on my track team. I do running long jump and i always get first (not to brag). I get like 12'2 and i want to do better! If anyone can tell me how to get better or how to jump further. Thank you!

Answer 1

that's good for 12 years old. to do better, you should take a long step followed by a short step as you approach the board or line that you jump off. that allows you to jump with more force. also, try to arch your back while in the air. you might already know all of this, but i hope it helps.

Answer 2

practice!!!!

just do it everyday..and try to run faster when u do it....

that might help.

-Good Luck=]

Answer 3

For being in 7th grade 12'2" is pretty good. In highschool there are some girls that still get that, but  i'm sure  you'll improve a lot by than. but right noww, 12'2" is probably a pretty average/good jump! good job!
