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. Stay on the balls of your feet; never land flat-footed during fast footwork.
Regression:
Perform the drill in place before adding lateral or forward travel.
Progression:
Add a loaded carry or band resistance to increase the metabolic and strength-endurance demand.
Common Problems:
Arms not pumping — cue the arms to drive in opposition to create rhythm and reduce leg fatigue.
