Success in the triple jump depends on more than speed and power—it requires precise technical execution across every phase of the jump. Yet many coaches struggle to identify the root causes of technical problems or know how to systematically develop athletes from beginner to advanced levels. This workshop is designed to bridge that gap.
Over three hours, Boo Schexnayder will break down the event using the same principles that have influenced coaches around the world. You'll learn how to analyze triple jump technique, build the essential bounding skills that underpin successful jumping, and implement proven teaching progressions that accelerate technical development. Boo will also address one of the most common challenges in the event—fixing problems in the second phase—and explain the error correction strategies he uses to produce more efficient, consistent jumpers.
The workshop concludes with a discussion of current technical models, coaching philosophies, and emerging trends in the triple jump, helping you understand not only how elite athletes jump today, but why those techniques continue to evolve. Whether you coach beginners or championship-level athletes, you'll leave with practical tools you can apply immediately in training.
