How to Train: Linear Skip & Crossover

Linear skipping crossover, here we are going to use the same action, we are going to go straight ahead with the ladder. We are not going to step in the ladder; we are going to step outside the ladder. What this means is, we start from one side, we are going to skip and crossover and then skip and cross back. This is a difficult move and it takes tremendous hip control.

The biggest mistake that I see athletes make is, they reach with their heel, they create a negative right here. This is a hard thing to overcome as an athlete. We want to emphasize crossing over with the knee and hip; stepping down to the front part of the foot so that now I can snap my hips through and control the next movement crossing back across. Our arms stay in as we maintain the core control to move our feet.
