Key Teaching Points:

  1. 1. Breathing is rhythmic; find a cadence pattern and commit to it.
  2. 2. Land softly — bend at ankles, knees, and hips to absorb impact.
  3. 3. React with the whole body; arms help transfer energy and maintain control.
  4. 4. Focus on foot speed first; cover range once mechanics are sound.

Regression:

Reduce pace to a walk or march. Remove the jump or hop until mechanics are solid.

Progression:

Increase duration before increasing intensity — build capacity before building power.

Common Problems:

Flat-foot landing — cue ball-of-foot contact first to reduce impact force.
