I came to the jump clinic/camp with just one season of experience as a high jumper and I wanted to get better at it. Within one week Hugo was able to break down everything about my form, in both the run up and the jump, and could explain it in an easy to understand fashion. Getting one on one criticism from him allowed me to better understand what I needed to work on for the next season. Watching videos of what I was doing wrong, and being able to watch how the other jumpers performed were valuable visuals that allowed me to see the difference in what I was doing currently versus what I needed to be doing. The next track season rolled around, and I was able to dig up my notes from the clinic. I worked on everything he had told me about, and with help from my coach was able to correct some of the errors. By the end of the season I was able to win the sectional meet with a jump of 6’5”, and finished 6th at the state meet with a jump of 6’4”.
Thanks Hugo!
