I'm coaching long jump
For middle schoolers
I don't know much about it
It's just "run and jump" to me
I know there is a technique
I need to figure it out qucik
Because I'm coaching it
I think Van Halen sang
About the Long Jump
But I don't want to jump
To conclusions
Was 21 Jump Street
About the Long Jump?
I never watched it
I think it was about
An undercover long jumper
Some of these kids are like frogs
It's like teaching
Frogology 101
Some kids show up in their crocs
And attempt to jump
Those kids had crocodile tears afterwards
I have to remember
To cover that pit
When finished with practice
If I don't
At night some stray cat may turn it into a litter box
I saw one kid eat sand yesterday
He jumped and then face planted in the pit
My first coaching advice would be
"Kids don't eat sand"
Especially if that pit
Was used as a litter box
I take inspiration from Coach Miyagi
Jump on
Jump off
Don't jump high
Jump long
Cycle your legs
Swing your arms
Land like a gymnast
If these kids can just pick up their
Water bottles
And their trash after practice
Then practice will be a success
Well back to the practice
And back to the grind
Time to push these kids
I mean push means
"Persevere until success prevails"
