Movement Preparation

• Athletes perform a continuous series of broad jumps (two footed)

• Start with feet shoulder-‐width apart and hips slightly flexed

• Bend at hips and knees, pull arms back

• Throw arms forward, extend hips and knees

• Look for explosive power in jump

• Pause between each jump at the start

• Shorten pauses until continuous jumps are possible

PROGRESSION: When continuous jumps are possible, ask for increased distance per jump rather than asking for faster jumps.
