Key Teaching Points:
- 1. Breathing is rhythmic; find a cadence pattern and commit to it.
- 2. Land softly — bend at ankles, knees, and hips to absorb impact.
- 3. React with the whole body; arms help transfer energy and maintain control.
- 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.
