Back in high school, I excelled at the high jump, and won a few events, but just lacked the dedication to work on my form. At 5'10, I could dunk a basketball with my 38" vertical jump, and learned how to approach a high jump pit with the right steps, but just didn't work at it enough.
My coach did a little math, and figured out if I arched my back properly, I could have been jumping at Ohio State record level(6'9"-6'10"), but I never achieved over 6'2" while jumping. I didn't even opt to go to regionals, or districts because I found a job.
