what are some ways to improve how high i jump?

get good shoes and do squats

Visualization is an important element of jumping events. You must be able to tune out distractions and crowd noise and almost think yoursel over the bar. A visualization technique for beginners used by some high jumpers that I know is to stare at a piece of paper with a black box in the center for about 2 minutes. Then look away from the paper at a blank wall and you should see the reverse; a white box on a dark background. The purpose of this drill is to learn to focus your attention. Your head and your eyes will dictate what your hips do. If you are looking down at your feet or your steps, you certainly won't jump up in the air. If you are looking at the bar when you jump, you will run right into it. Your gaze should shift over the course of the approach and then the jump. It should start at the near standard. At the point of takeoff, your gaze should be parallel to the bar, not looking at any of the high jump apparatus but at something that could be along the line of the bar about twenty feet away. After the take off you should lean your head slightly back and try to look at something on the opposite side of the pit from the middle of the bar. Use Your Arms! you should have both arms back behind the body, elbows bent, in preparation for the drive and block at the same time as the takeoff. on the final step, both arms come forward, driving the body up and off the ground. meet warm ups should mimic actual competition jumps .
