fun fact: up to 15x my body weight goes through my leg when i triple jump

triple jump requires a mixture of different strengths

combining flexibility and plyometrics with strength training has allowed me to withstand these forces

but it also requires mental strength too

coming back from two surgeries in the past 18 months has been crazy (i’ll talk about that another time)

before this jump at this years national championships i was nervous 

but i trusted that i am strong enough both mentally and physically to handle it because i knew i had put in the work 

the mind body connection is powerful 

keep aiming higher ↑

15x body weight is crazy tho.

I can imagine that takes A LOT of training;
I once was the commentator and announcer for a regional inter-highschool athletics event. Even the competition and training at that level was very very admirable.
  
It's so good to have people who are masters of their craft on Farcaster. 
And would love to see that kids show if there's any footage online!

right!! the picture shows how much force is going through my leg🤯

i went on this science show for kids a few years ago and they actually measured it all using force plates which was super interesting!!
