oh yeah! work on your technique to a point where you know how many steps you're gonna run before you make the jump at the board. Measure your running start distance. Time your approach to the board. Visit the gym 3 times a week working strictly on your butt, hams, quads, and calves. The work out to use are squats. doing 6 sets of at least 15 reps per set. Put these to your practice regimen, and it is a promise that you'll be jumping 11+ inches extra in 2 weeks

I am doing lots of endurance leg weight work, to prepare. And long faster runs, of like 6-8 miles but like a minute slower per mile than my 10k race pace which will help in the shorter track distances.

practice. take lessons. anyone who is giving you any other answer is only giving you advice from their own experience and their swing is different than yours - guaranteed. Like the guy that said go to the gym... i don't go to the gym, i can hit 300 easy. i do have a naturally fast swing speed, but if i used the wrong club, i wouldn't hit as far, so any equipment suggestion would not be that helpful either. if you take lessons, your coach can send you in the right direction. there's no "secret" everyone's looking for a secret that's why golf magazines keep selling. you want to hit farther? maximize club head speed using the shaft and swing speed. easy to say, not so easy to do.

Try it at different speeds,\nEx:-\nFirst try at 2 m/s\nThen try at 5 m/s\nThen try at 10 m/s\nThen if you survive, try at 20 m/s\nTry using concrete wall if you want to have more fun :)

You just have to do some interval training. Longer strides help once you get your endurance up. I am 14 and run the mile 6:32 and that is how i did it.

1) If you play 4/5, wtf are you doing driving anyway? play on the block w/ your back to the basket.\n\n2) Practice driving from the right...duh.\n\n3) If you can hit from the outside, the D will have to play you closer out there, so it'll be easier to drive.\n\n4) work on your pull-up jumper. start to drive, then pull up and hit it from 10-15 feet. if you can do that, they can't stop the drive

50 meters can be a long time if you're not in shape, but my guess is you're kicking like mad.\n\nWhat I would do is get one of those flotation devices some people just call "boards".  Hang onto it with your hands way out in front of you and just kick your way across the pool.  You'll soon find a kicking style that works for you.\n\nAfter that, you can add yours arms back in.

Joey H. answer is good.\nI have some personal tips to share with you...\n1. The best option is to start with low jumps and gain balance and 'sense' of 'air time'.\n2. When the board is 'off' the jump, make sure your balance is just in the middle (both on the length and the width). Most people crash of their side or back at the beginning... due to body freezing in the air. You should make little adjustments in order to keep the board align.\n3. The most important aspect is to think about your knees as your shock absorbers. On your first jumps, bent them more then you think you should.\n4. Try to practice on powder :)\n5. Good luck!

1.get yourself a board\n2.get yourself suitable shoes ( DC's or Vans)\n3.place your weaker foot on the front third of the board \n4.push with your other foot on the ground try not to lean to far foward or you could end up sending the board behind youself\n5. then with a little practise your should be on your way in no time

The best thing that i have seen to do and done to improve FG % is to have a goal at home, even a portable one for 150 from wal-mart works, work on just shooting, if you don't make the shot run to the ball and shoot as fast as u can,dont think about it let it begin to come naturally without thinking just shooting

Run sprints, bleachers, jump rope, and ladders. You can also do calf work like calf raisers. Believe me i did all that and i got alot faster. It took seconds off my 100 M....just continue all those workouts for awhile and you'll get faster. You can also wear ankle weights for awhile.

I am on a track team, here is what I advise you to do. I don't know what kind of build you have, height, etc, so this is perhaps a generalization. I would for starters, try building strength in your legs. Do what are called Stassi Squats, which is keeping your feet spread and parallel, bending down at a 90 degree angle, and with your back as straight as you can make it. Hold this for a minute. Repeat 4 more times. You should also try 20x100 meters as hard as you can. By the way, 52 is a good time, a very good time. You should strive for better, always, but on the way be proud of yourself for being able to run that. I'm a distance runner and I wish I could do that.

try doing them on a strap bar (if you have one)...or on low bar with your coaches spot...to get used to the around the bar thing...then try moving up to the high bar...just remember to keep your elbows straight...because if you dont make it over..the worst that happens is you land on the other side..if you bend your elbows..well, just dont bend them...stay tight and believe in yourself. good luck!

Run 600s or 800s to help build your endurance so you'll be able to go hard for te majority of the meet. Work on having a good stride for the back stretch after you come out digging hard...be motivated and happy
