Here are the key lessons:

Great morning for the Irish at #WorldAthleticsU20 Champs with @nickgriggs4321 reaching the 3000m final & Nicola Tuthill throwing a PB of 61.87m to make the hammer final ranked 6th.
She fractured & dislocated her elbow in March: "It was very iffy if I'd be back training by now."

Some jumps focus on knee/quad extension. Some focus on ankle stiffness. What about the hips and core? @Bingisser has some jump variations inspired by @LeighEgger @FransBoschBook that start to shift the focus to hip projection, core tension, and more:
