Programming

Coaching Cues

• Sit into a squat with the chest lifted.
• Drive through the feet and jump vertically.
• Land softly with knees bent.
• Return immediately to the squat position.
• Use a bodyweight squat instead when a low-impact option is needed.

Optional Notes
A plyometric lower-body exercise that develops power and raises the heart rate. Focus on quiet, controlled landings.
