Key Teaching Points:
- 1. Keep knees soft at all times; stiff knees on landing increase joint stress.
- 2. Breathe consistently — match breathing to movement rhythm.
- 3. End range is where the real work happens — do not shy away from it.
- 4. Engage the core before initiating any movement.
Regression:
Reduce range of motion — smaller hops, shorter shuffles — until the landing pattern is safe.
Progression:
Increase speed, range, or add a resistance band around the ankles or wrists.
Common Problems:
Flat-foot landing — cue ball-of-foot contact first to reduce impact force.
