Step-by-step

  1. Stand on one leg with the knee slightly bent
  2. Drive powerfully sideways off the support leg to leap to the other side
  3. Land softly on the opposite foot, bending the knee to find balance
  4. Hold the landing position for one second
  5. Bound back the other way with the same explosiveness

Coaching tip

Stick each landing for a second to prove balance; control matters more than distance.
