JUMP SKIPS FOR DISTANCE
Drill description:
Skip on the right foot and at the same time, drive your left knee up. A variation of the jump skip drill for height, this drill's emphasis is on getting as much distance out of the knee opposite the skipping foot. Instead of focusing on height, try to get as far down the track as you can with extending the leg. The arms are very important in this drill as they must be constantly pumping up and down. Whichever foot is skipping on the ground, that same arm must be driving up as well. So when right foot skips, right arm drives and left knee goes far etc. Keep arm at a ninety degree angle from the elbows, hands pointed straight ahead, back and shoulders slightly arched, eyes ahead. The goal is to obtain as much distance as possible and push off with the calve muscle.
