Key Teaching Points:
- 1. Rest between sets is active recovery; shake out the legs, do not freeze.
- 2. Eyes up and ahead — looking down slows reaction time and disrupts balance.
- 3. Stay on the balls of your feet; never land flat-footed during fast footwork.
Regression:
Perform the drill in place before adding lateral or forward travel.
Progression:
Add a reactive element — partner call, target change — to increase cognitive and neuromuscular demand.
Common Problems:
Landing with locked knees — cue soft landing with immediate re-bend. Losing base position between transitions — enforce the athletic stance reset.
