JUMP DOWNS
DRILL DESCRIPTION:
Set up a 2-3 foot high box about 4 feet away from a soft landing mat. It should be soft and very cushiony to absorb you on impact. Take a ten step running start and leap up onto the box and use it to elevate and jump. In the air, try to thrust the arms upward and then focus on landing with bent knees and upper body leaning forward. This drill is to help you get better at your landings so your weight carries you forward, not backward.
