Continuous Tuck Jumps (in-place)
Continuous Tuck Jumps (in-place)
Purpose: Plyometric. Power. Fast twitch muscle recruitment. Athletic coordination.
Quick Coaching Cues
- Coordinate your arms with the jumps, swinging from the shoulders and elbows.
- Jump straight up explosively and drive your knees up toward your chest.
- Keep your chest up and use your arms to help create lift.
- Land softly and reset quickly with control before the next jump.
- Jump continuously. If you’re unable to coordinate multiple jumps smoothly back to back, try this.
Common Mistakes
- Letting the knees cave inward on takeoff or landing.
- Landing stiff-legged instead of absorbing through the ankles, knees, and hips.
- Pulling the feet up without getting real vertical lift.
- Not using the arms at all or not with enough power.
