Key Teaching Points:
- 1. Focus on foot speed first; cover range once mechanics are sound.
- 2. Arms pump in opposition to legs for balance and rhythm.
- 3. Keep knees soft at all times; stiff knees on landing increase joint stress.
- 4. Land softly — bend at ankles, knees, and hips to absorb impact.
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:
Flat-foot landing — cue ball-of-foot contact first to reduce impact force.
