Two Step Bound to Sprint
Two Step Bound to Sprint
Purpose: Locomotive advanced-plyometrics. Power. Athletic coordination.
Quick Coaching Cues
- Complete this facing both directions. For example, Starting with your RIGHT leg forwards, bound two steps, when you land on your RIGHT leg, complete the lateral bound landing on your LEFT leg facing your left, then immediately transition into the 5-10yd sprint. You’ll complete 2-3 sets facing your left during the lateral bound and 2-3 sets facing your right.
- Shift your weight slightly forwards and explode forward, then quickly redirect into the lateral jump. Reset.
- Land softly in an athletic position with your chest up and knees bent.
- Stick each landing with control before driving into the next direction.
Common Mistakes
- Landing stiff-legged instead of absorbing through the hips, knees, and ankles.
- Letting the knees cave inward on the forward or lateral landing.
- Taking too long to transition to the lateral jump.
