Loved it Naeem, keep pushing and staying focus, it will eventually come. The good thing about high jumping is that you have three attempts to adjust and get it right, so concentrate and focus more on your point of LIFT, as you approach the height, and adjust accordingly, the length of your run up especially in the lower heights, is on you. I’ve been pushing for more young athletes to get into the field events, in track, you get in that block once but in the field you are blessed with several attempts.
Try and find some videos of high jumper Barshim, to me he is one of the best, and see what you can imulate, also try and hook up your own little high jump rig in your back yard, with a few old beds, and bamboo as the cross bar, where you can practice on your own down time. Keep jumping heigh Naeem.
