Initial secession consists of watching the athletes general warm up, give new ideas on stretching and drills. Depending on the event that the athlete wishes to improve on, I will take video while making notes on improvements but also highlighting what they are doing well. The end of the session will involve specific drills that will help to improve the athlete's event.

For follow up sessions I will develop training plans customized for the athlete, we will develop a proper warm up, use event specific drills to improve, and make changes where needed for approaching runs. We will talk through how each jump felt, trying to get the athlete to feel the difference between proper form and bad form.
