zack – i wouldn’t go too crazy with the triple jump at your age. don’t wanna sound patronising but i imagine your technique isn’t great and that coupled with your age aren’t a great recipe for triple jump. if you have access to a decent triple jump coach then a bit of easy bounding/short approach technique work wouldn’t do any harm but otherwise i don’t see any benefit of doing a lot of triple jump at your age. must be frustrating being told to hold back though as you clearly have a lot of knowledge/enthusiam for your age
