Landing Exercises

Exercises designed to improve your body's shock
absorbing ability, as well as the ways in which it
stores and releases kinetic energy.

Coaching Points

Start in a tall position on your tip toes.
Rapidly drop down into a quarter squat position, absorbing the landing.
In this position your feet should be flat in the floor, your knees in line with your toes, your hips back and your chest up.
When landing I want you to imagine you have a sleeping baby strapped to your chest. Your aim is to not wake the baby up. This means you must land softly in a good position.
