A former matrix trust student recently visited Turves Green Boys' School to lead an engaging and highly successful triple jump coaching session for a group of up-and-coming track and field enthusiasts in preparation for their sports day in July. As a former star in regional athletics circles, Toby brought both expertise and inspiration to the session, which was praised by athletes and staff alike.
The session focused on the technical components of the triple jump—hop, step, and jump—emphasizing rhythm, balance, and explosive power. Toby, who was running the session began with a dynamic warm-up and plyometric drills to prepare the group. He then transitioned into technique breakdowns, offering individualised feedback and live demonstrations that impressed the young jumpers.
Participants responded enthusiastically, showing marked improvement in their form and approach phases. All the students are looking forward to the opportunity to work with Toby again at our upcoming training session at a local athletics stadium with the hopes of representing the school in the trust sports day.
