Key Teaching Points:

  1. 1. React with the whole body; arms help transfer energy and maintain control.
  2. 2. Maintain an athletic base position between transitions — never stand tall and static.
  3. 3. Breathing is rhythmic; find a cadence pattern and commit to it.
  4. 4. Land softly — bend at ankles, knees, and hips to absorb impact.

Regression:

Substitute a step variation for any jumping or bounding component.

Progression:

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

Common Problems:

Arms not pumping — cue the arms to drive in opposition to create rhythm and reduce leg fatigue.
