Im going to second/third/fourth the mental aspect, especially for someone like me who is a much better DL jumper. Ive noticed lately (especially last night, tons of youtube vids of SL jumpers and sprinters) how RELAXED they all are and I can see this dur8ng game situations for myself. I can jump damn near 40" off one in a game when its subconscious and Ive always thought it was simply that, subconscious, a reaction to game stimuli. However, I was watching vids and I thought back to my old track coaches saying relaxation is key and it all makes more sense now.
Why cant i jump 40" off 1 in practice? Im too tense, im literally trying to hard. The key is too relax and let your body flow which Ive somehow accomplished in DL form despite having more volume of SL jumps over the years. :/ Hmmm.
