Key Teaching Points:

  1. 1. Build duration before building intensity on first exposure to the drill.
  2. 2. Eyes up and ahead — looking down slows reaction time and disrupts balance.
  3. 3. End range is where the real work happens — do not shy away from it.
  4. 4. Rest between sets is active recovery; shake out the legs, do not freeze.

Regression:

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

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.
