Key Coaching Points

Bending the knees on landing, taking impact out of the knee joint and utilising the isolated muscle groups.
Landing on the front of the feet, helping to spring into the next action.
Keep the head upwards, with it being the heaviest part of the body it can easily influence the athletes ability to balance and control themselves when moving.
