Quick Coaching Cues
- Complete this drill for your desired distance, walk or jog back and repeat.
- Stay tall and hop forward off both feet with quick, light contacts.
- Land softly with knees slightly bent and hips back just enough to absorb force.
- Keep your chest up and arms moving naturally to help rhythm and balance.
Common Mistakes
- Landing stiff-legged instead of absorbing through the ankles, knees, and hips.
- Letting the knees cave inward on landing.
- Taking hops that are too long and losing control or balance.
