Key Teaching Points:
- 1. Rest between sets is active recovery; shake out the legs, do not freeze.
- 2. Avoid compensation patterns; if form breaks, address the limiting factor.
- 3. Keep knees soft at all times; stiff knees on landing increase joint stress.
- 4. Engage the core before initiating any movement.
Regression:
Reduce pace to a walk or march. Remove the jump or hop until mechanics are solid.
Progression:
Add a reactive element — partner call, target change — to increase cognitive and neuromuscular demand.
Common Problems:
Landing with locked knees — cue soft landing with immediate re-bend. Losing base position between transitions — enforce the athletic stance reset.
