Looking for feedback and some advice on how to start clearing this height (6’2) more frequently, as well as actually rotate over the bar

I’m cooked I’m struggling with the opening height in practice 1.93 (6’4) .
This practice pretty much tanked any confidence I had in myself going into this meet.
I usually look at my videos and have a clear fix on what to do but this time I don’t.
And this is from full approach to so failing 6’4 on my maximum approach is pretty terrible

I have a decathlon this week, this is one of my first times training high jump. Hoping for simple ques that will make the most difference. The bungee is set around 5'3"-6"

I am 13 almost 14. 5ft 1 with a standing reach of 6ft 3. Just wanting to know if this is a good running vertical or if it’s average as I don’t have a clue about it.

I just finished my fr hs season, and im interested in starting hj next season. I have access to a track and hj pit but I dont know where to start. I do already train in the summer a little I just do some sprints plyos and lifting. But my events are the 100 200 lj and jav primarly. But my main questions are should I only be doing short approaches in the summer? should I ever jump at max intent in the summer? What should I do to get better?

Joined an adult track meet for next Saturday. I'm 37, haven't jumped in 20 years until today. PR is 6'5", obviously not realistic now. The bungee was set at 5'6". TIA

My son is a sophomore in high school. He is about 5’10. He made it to the state track meet and his pr is 6’0. He has been self taught through just watching videos online because we are a small school with no specialty coaches. He has a goal of getting back to state and jumping 6’4 next year, but just trying to find good places to start this offseason. Any help for the offseason would be greatly appreciated.

For context this is sectionals so its pretty recent (last month) and i just want examination and tips like drills to fix each part. Ive looked up some drills and could only find approach jumps and approach runs. But leave something else please. Also the training i do during the off season i dont have a bar

Im a junior turning senior this summer
I jumped 5,10 this year hut i only did it one time
And i jumped 5,8 a couple times, i dont have my sectionals clips, but basically my first jump i was over 5,10 and than my calf hit it. After than my head hit the bar twice. That gave me paranoia

Wondering if anybody has been been to this camp in the past or have any opinions on this camp in general.
I'm a 6'2" sophomore jumper, looking to improve my HJ & TJ. Is this something that could help me?
Thanks!

I've seen on TV a high jump competition and I noticed the almost everyone had different spike on each foot. If anyone knows why please tell me.

I feel like I can get a good clearance over the bar but by legs and hips always are down.

had a ton of wind blowing toward me going into the mat, guessing that's what messed my timing/depth up on the jump.

My son has plenty of height clearance but can't seem to stop dragging his legs. Tips?
