Key Teaching Points:

  1. 1. Breathing is rhythmic; find a cadence pattern and commit to it.
  2. 2. Rest between sets is active recovery; shake out the legs, do not freeze.
  3. 3. React with the whole body; arms help transfer energy and maintain control.

Regression:

Perform the drill in place before adding lateral or forward travel.

Progression:

Increase duration before increasing intensity — build capacity before building power.

Common Problems:

Landing with locked knees — cue soft landing with immediate re-bend. Losing base position between transitions — enforce the athletic stance reset.
