Jump high to go far

This rule applies to long jump, triple jump, and high jump. It's a simple rule, but it's a difficult thing to remember to do in the fraction of a second of the moment of your jump! That's why you need to practice this rule, so that it will come naturally to you when you're not thinking about it. The rule is that when taking off in any of these jumps, what you should be doing is trying to jump as high as you can, instead of as far as you can. Your momentum will do the work of taking you far, as long as you give yourself enough time in the air. So remember, jump high to go far!
