Key Teaching Points:

  1. 1. Keep knees soft at all times; stiff knees on landing increase joint stress.
  2. 2. Rest between sets is active recovery; shake out the legs, do not freeze.
  3. 3. Establish a stable base before adding any dynamic component.
  4. 4. Quality of movement always takes priority over speed or load.

Regression:

Perform the drill in place before adding lateral or forward travel.

Progression:

Add a reactive element — partner call, target change — to increase cognitive and neuromuscular demand.

Common Problems:

Arms not pumping — cue the arms to drive in opposition to create rhythm and reduce leg fatigue.
