About
Track-And-Field-Jumpers.com
Www.Track-And-Field-Jumpers.com is about everything and anything to do with the track and field jumping events. This site has been designed to serve as a resource for coaches and athletes to learn and understand more about these events. Www.Track-And-Field-Jumpers.com began because there is very little quality information online for jumps coaches, and jumpers. Not only that, the information that can be found is very technical in nature. This makes it difficult for new athletes and coaches to get a grasp about how the horizontal and vertical events work. Another reason for the site is that there is a huge lack of knowledge from many coaches and athletes regarding the jumps. What is being taught and focused on with these field events in many cases is detrimental to creating good performances. Because of these reasons www.track-and-field-jumpers.com was born. For this site there are three goals.
- Help as many athletes and coaches as possible.
- Put everyone on the same page in understanding how these events work.
- Make the content easy to understand, and fun to learn.
I do hope you enjoy this site. It is a labor of love for me, and is a resource that has been designed to help you get the most out of the horizontal and vertical events.
About Me
My name is Erik Rokeach, and I Love the jumping events! You could probably say I am "jumps-obsessed." The knowledge and experience that I have, I want to pass along to you. Hopefully in supplying you with jumping knowledge, you will pay it forward by passing along the correct knowledge to others. My personal goals with jumpers and coaches are to...
- Help as many as possible.
- To simplify program design.
- Teach the proper technical elements so the best results can be achieved.
- Make sure everyone has fun.
I myself have been jumping, and/or involved with the horizontal and vertical events for more than 15 years now. I am a former Division 1 All East Jumper, a USATF Level 1 Certified coach (hopefully to soon be a level 2), a high school jumps coach, and assisted in coaching various Division 1 college jumpers. I have helped to coach many athletes. In turn giving them the knowledge to improve their performances. I have had a number of champions at multiple levels, and have been fortunate enough to see these athletes excel. Not only that, I am co-founder of a very successful speed camp. Helping to teach speed, and give athletes the opportunity to excel at their sport. In my goal to help as many athletes and coaches as possible, I am currently studying for the NSCA CSCS exam. This will help increase my knowledge so I can help you achieve the results you want. Hopefully you enjoy www.track-and-field-jumpers.com, and are able to learn a little something about the jumps. If you have any questions or comments about the site, article submissions or ideas you can let me know by clicking here. Thank you for your interest, and best of luck in the jumps.
