Dear Hugo,
As a Computer Science major and a technology enthusiast, I must say I thought one of the best features at this camp was the videos you shot and used as an aide in showing us what we were doing well, doing wrong and could do better in. Another aspect I really like about your coaching style, was that you taught not only why we jump the way we do, but how it should feel, which is perspective I have never been taught in previously. The thing I took away from this camp that I feel put my jump together nicely was adding the overhand technique, rather than double-handing. This made my legs push outward rather than upward and I was able to maintain my velocity much better and go a lot farther. In addition, while accelerating, throwing my arms back rather than forward was a beneficial addition to my jumping arsenal. I am excited to keep practicing and perfecting the things I’ve learned at this camp at will frequent the site for videos of myself, other athletes, and pros to see how I can further improve.
A thousands thanks and see you during the season!
