Try the following progression:


High skips--no arms:

High skips using the arms to power the skip:

Stride--no arms:

Stride using the arms for extra power:

Use the progression to feel how you can power a jump or stride using the arms for extra oomph. Make sure the stride knee is adding too.

Hal Skinner called it a Glove Shove. Use the arms (along with the stride leg) to help power the stride--give them a purpose other than to balance out what the rest of the body is doing.



No comments about the socks... They were cheap and perfect for practice... ;)

Ken.... The girl skipping..... I'm just curious.... And, yes, it may seem like an odd question... Is she a right-handed pitcher or left-handed pitcher?
