Key Teaching Points:

  1. 1. End range is where the real work happens — do not shy away from it.
  2. 2. React with the whole body; arms help transfer energy and maintain control.
  3. 3. Breathing is rhythmic; find a cadence pattern and commit to it.

Regression:

Reduce range of motion — smaller hops, shorter shuffles — until the landing pattern is safe.

Progression:

Add a loaded carry or band resistance to increase the metabolic and strength-endurance demand.

Common Problems:

Losing rhythm after fatigue — build sets shorter and more frequent before extending duration.
