If I could have mastered the fosbury flop back in 1982/1983, I would have competed at State competition level for our high school. I think the school record still stands at 6'5", and many years, that would have won the State competition.
At 5'10", I had a measured vertical jump of 39" which equates me to touching the 10' tall basketball rim on my mid wrist. I was able to clear 6'0" several times, but as the couches watched me, I had no back arch, which would have gained me about 6".
If only I had applied myself to get better!
