Long jump

Is there a proper way for me to train for long jump by myself, I want to try out long jump this upcoming season but I don’t want to just walk into the event with no training. I have no coach At the moment and i’ll most likely be self taught. I only wanna try out this event because i have really high vert and I think I have good horizontal power.

Football coach as a track coach

At my new high school our football coach is also our new track coach (Dk what happened to our old one) and im not sure if its common or good for a football coach to be a track coach because its 2 different programs and different ways of working out (he coaches wrs)

Versatility

Does running the 400 on the side help sprinters with the 100 and 200? my friends and other athletes told me that running the 400 helps lowering your time for some odd reason but its weird and i don’t get how

i need advice with trying to talk to my mom

Im always marked disrespectful for something every time I try to tell my mom about her behavior, So basically i asked her to workout at this local school near us and she told me no, because I came home late one time (i was late because i was stretching so I wasn’t as sore in the morning).

A few minutes later she came into my room and said something about working out and I guess I misunderstood things and I thought she said she didn’t care about me working out. (I tried to get ready to workout about an hour later) but when i was grabbing water bottles she stopped me in my tracks and started saying how i’m always trying to play around and be sneaky,
(Mind you all i wanted to do was workout and get active because i’m a Track and field athlete).

And then she brought up me not taking our dog on walks and keeping myself locked in the room with him and I called her out on the stuff SHE didn’t do with our dog because Im the one constantly playing with him, feeding him, taking him out and I told her this so then My mom decided to pull me aside and call me disrespectful, pressing me about it and brought up the fact that she works and pays the bills (The usual) and she always brought up the fact that she would be tired and how I do all this with our dog because i’m a kid.

However it confuses me because how is she always talking about being drained from work when we have conversations like this but she has all the energy to scream at me and call me disrespectful and things of that nature when all I try to do is talk to her about her behaviors when trying to correct mine, I don’t try to be disrespectful to her I just try to get my point across and all of my family usually sides with her. So I don’t know if i’m usually the problem and it’s so confusing.

Please let me know so I can correct this

Training top speed

How do sprinters genuinely train top speed, people on the internet make it seem complicated with all these drills and stuff, and i don’t see much explanation to it, Im aware speed should be prioritized as a sprinter but i barley see the workouts and i never have an explanation as of why its effective
