#HOLLA'! SPONSOR POST from @spirittechnique ••• Do you remember your first body position jump? For some it may have been a tuck jump, others a spread eagle, and some a toe touch that looked like a spread eagle. What's the one thing you thought as you pushed off the ground? ... Are my feet going to make it back to the ground before my bottom hits it? Yep ... if you were one of the unlucky ones they didn't. Or maybe you liked to drop down to your ankles (I won't name any of my "collegiate" cheerleaders, you all know who you are, lol). ⠀ ⠀ Tuck jumps are a great way to get over that fear of your feet not making it to the ground. After learning the pencil jump - pushing off your toes, lifting with your arms, and absorbing when you land; you can move on to your tuck jumps. They will help you learn to rotate your hips. Simple but powerful. ⠀ ⠀ See tuck jumps can be used to work on jumps, tumbling and inverted stunts. They help teach timing, muscle awareness, and spatial awareness. For coaches it shows who may be lacking the confidence to fully rotate their hips. This could be because of fear, awareness or lack of muscle. ⠀ ⠀ Consider using tuck jumps as part of your conditioning, drills, and jump progressions. ⠀ ⠀ #dontgetmadgetbetter #jumpprogressions #tuckjump #tuckdrills #tuckdrill #howtotuck #invertedstunt #stunts #jumpswincompetitions #techniquewins #spirittechnique #cheercoach #youthcheercoach #youthcheerleading #minicheerleader #timingmatters #synchronizedtumbling #synchronized #cheerprogressions #technique https://www.instagram.com/hollacheeranddancemagazine/p/BxRyd22HhOY/?igshid=k8sddob36fx7
