Starting Position
- Standing with one foot flat on a box
- Arms bent at the elbow to 90 degrees and cocked back
Procedure
- Jump vertically by throwing arms and exploding through the front leg, extending your hip, knee, and ankle
- In the air, the front and back leg will exchange positions in order to land with the opposite foot on the box
- Without pausing, immediately repeat the jump with the opposite leg
- Continue for prescribed number of repetitions
Coaching Keys
- Throw arms up but stop with your hands at eye level
- Land with full foot on the box
- Torso should be leaning forward slighty upon landing with back leg bent slightly
- Anticipate each landing to minimize contact time
You Should Feel It
