Where you look while high jumping
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. Where you look should shift over the course of the approach and then the jump. It should start at the near standard.
When you begin the curve of the J-run, your sight line should move with your shoulders and hips toward the middle of the bar, and as you get closer to the bar, you should be seeing the far standard. Remember, you look there, but you keep your plant angle to the back corner -- don't flatten out the end of the run.
At the point of takeoff, you look parallel to the bar, at something that could be along the line of the bar about 20 feet away. After take off you lean your head back and try to look to the back or side of the pit.

Highlights 12/6 - 12/8
12/6 Eric, Kevin, Mike and Aaron lifted 3x3x420. 9.14m fly bests: Kevin 9.14mps, Mike and Eric 9.05, Aaron 8.70. 5x starts over H1 (39 +5) bests: Mike 2.04, Kevin 2.06, Aaron 2.36. 4x5-step 42s.
12/7 Joe worked early, with best jumps in the 5-8 to 5-10 range. Mollie and Aaron did a variety of warm up drills and some run throughs, and then took multiple jumps at 2 steps, 4 steps and full approach working with the bungee bar around 4-4 and 5-4, respectively. Karly came in later and did similar work. Everyone looked consistent on the run up and got some of the foot plants pointing to the back corner. Rotations getting better at times. Some adjustments on steps: Mollie 11/47, Karly 13/47.
12/8 Emily worked out early. Mollie worked out at 4:30 and Karly at 6. Mollie and Karly lifted 3x3x300. Followed with hurdle drills for hip mobility, a couple of pickups and then 3x9.14m flys -- Mollie and Karly both had bests of 7.49mps. Worked some technical runs with 5-stepping over 4H followed by reps over 3H (33 -2) and 2H (33 -1). Karly's splits were in the 1.31-1.46 range. Mollie ran in the 1.28-1.33 range. Both made good progress in the session. Stretched.
