How to jump further?

Question

im getting into parkour and i want to know how i can jump further. im not talking about a running jump. im talking about just standing on the spot then jumping as far as you can. any suggestions?

Answer 1

use your body to swing yourself farther

Answer 2

My daughter left both elementary and high school with 6 school records in track: high jump, triple jump, long jump, 100m sprint, 200m sprint, and relay race. Also one State champion medal. She used visualization. No one taught her the visualization technique, she just simply visualized herself jumping high above the pole, or far into the sandpit, etc. There are books on the subject, and probably info online. Lots of athletes use the technique.  

Good luck!
