Key Teaching Points:

  1. 1. Keep knees soft at all times; stiff knees on landing increase joint stress.
  2. 2. Eyes up and ahead — looking down slows reaction time and disrupts balance.
  3. 3. Build duration before building intensity on first exposure to the drill.
  4. 4. Quality of movement always takes priority over speed or load.

Regression:

Reduce pace to a walk or march. Remove the jump or hop until mechanics are solid.

Progression:

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

Common Problems:

Flat-foot landing — cue ball-of-foot contact first to reduce impact force.
