It's time for another Q&A video - I ansswer questions from you guys on training planning and plyometrics, for example.
VIDEO TIMELINE:
0.00min: Intro
0.10min: Q1 Training Planning
Should my periodisation approach training (undulating block periodisation) be held back to when an athlete is older - around 16-17?
I coach athletes from 12 upwards and I use a very similar approach.
It's all about skilling up a young athlete.
1.45min: Q2 Do I favour straight leg ("pogo") jumps???
I talk about the various options we use to develop plyo ability and leg stiffness using drills when there is more leg extension - for example, partial bounds and platform hops.
2.46min: Q3 How to get more height for the long jump take-off
I outline the keys to achieving this.
Eccentric capacity is important.

This contains many drills which will improve take-off for the LJ and TJ power.
