The Heart Of Jump Rope: Collaboration & Altruism With Emma Trumble (#48)

“It’s not about the Olympics, its about getting people into the sport.” —Emma Trumble

Emma Trumble is a long time competitive jumper who is very active in the sport. We’ve chatted through instagram for quite a while now, and we always have thoughtful discussions about all things jump rope related. Emma delivers the same great perspective and interesting topics in our discussion today. We go over a lot of topics, including attending team practices that are 1.5 hours away from home, the magic of having a double dutch team that is in sync, thoughts on the Olypmics and competition structure, the progression of youth jumpers, and a whole lot more.

You can listen to the podcast on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, Stitcher and Overcast.

📝 A note on jump rope terminology…

Using the term “Leg Over” is more preferable to “Krouger,” “Cougar,” “Crooger,” or any other variation of this name.

Kroogar is a bit more popular, but it’s a very non-specific name.

Granted, you can do whatever you want, this is the internet after all haha. But if you’re looking to understand jump rope more clearly, adopting the “Leg Over” terminology is a bit more descriptive and can help when testing out related skills and combos (like the Leg Over Swing, Leg Over Release, EB Leg Over Swing, etc.)
