Step-by-step

  1. Stand one step in front of the box with your feet shoulder-width apart.
  2. Swing your arms back and squat down slightly, pushing your hips back.
  3. Swing your arms forward and up and drive explosively through your legs to jump.
  4. Land softly on top of the box on both feet at the same time with your knees slightly bent.
  5. Stand fully upright on top of the box.
  6. Step down with control instead of jumping back down.

Coaching tip

Explode off both feet and land softly on the box; let the landing absorb through your knees.
