Master landing techniques and build strength safely.

To master your jump training, start by focusing on your toes. Jump off your left foot and simultaneously bring your right foot up, aiming to land on your left toes. This builds the tension necessary for a successful jump. Begin in place and once your feet are set, move into a squat position, which is crucial for proper landing. Lower yourself down onto your toes and onto the platform. Keep the energy inside and go the full length of the platform to ensure a soft landing.

If your landing isn’t as smooth as desired, practice moving up and down across the platform. The power of consistency and practice are key to improving. Jumping effectively requires readiness for any outcome, so don't limit yourself even if things aren't perfect. Landing on your toes indicates a solid connection to the platform, while landing on heels may result in faster but less controlled movements. If you aren't landing on your toes, adjust your technique to ensure safety and effectiveness.

Jumping too high can be dangerous, leading to potential injuries. Communicate your movements and be mindful of your body's limits. Start with smaller jumps over cones or brooms, gradually increasing the height as you gain confidence and control. This progression helps you build strength and coordination without risking injury. Your body's response and your expression after a jump can indicate your readiness and comfort level, so listen to your body and adjust accordingly.
