Key Teaching Points:

  1. 1. Focus on foot speed first; cover range once mechanics are sound.
  2. 2. Arms pump in opposition to legs for balance and rhythm.
  3. 3. Keep knees soft at all times; stiff knees on landing increase joint stress.
  4. 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.
