Improve My Long Jump

This is my long jump 20 October 2015: Click here to watch the slomo!

I am practicing for athletics day on Friday.
Our teacher has videoed us so we can analyze our own jumps.
 We have picked up some tips when watched a video of what a professional long jump looks like. 
This is what the long jump process is:

Run up: Constancy, and to be able to stay on the same place every time you run down.
Your speed needs to be really fast all the way down so that you get momentum when you jump.

Take off: There is a bit before you jump where your hips sink, use that to push off and with your free knee, and lift it up to get high in the air.

Flight: There are different types of flight. One when you push off sail through the air, and when you move your feet like a running motion through the air

Landing: At the end push your legs in front of you, and then pull your body through the air towards your feet.
