What does everyone think about that?[/quote]Nick and I have actually spoken about it. I personally don’t COACH sticking the takeoff foot out in front of the body but Nick likes the cue and even when he does it to the max it still isn’t I would consider a problem so I don’t worry about it. Personally, I recognize that the takeoff foot of a long jumper has to be out in front a little to create lift at takeoff. There are videos of Nick jumping on YouTube and you can see for yourself that he’s nowhere near Dwight Phillips land as far as putting the foot out in front. It’s kind of a case of not worrying about things that aren’t problems.
