"Teach them how to land" good article from elite fitness
« on: November 16, 2009, 01:25:02 PM »
I would have liked more description of the actual landing, the position he his in looks good though we use narrower stance and stay more on the ball of the foot. There is balance between the potential for bruising a heel by sitting back and protection for the knee by keeping more vertical shin. The strengthening drills are great though as is the emphasis on correct the core collapse.

I shall not fear, fear is the mind killer the little death that precedes total obliteration

I will face my fear, I will let it pass over and through me and were it is gone, I will turn the inner eye and see its path, and only I will remain.
