Week 1 · Landing Mechanics & Vertical Power

The session that earns you the rest of the block. Week 1 is landings and ankle stiffness only; jumps arrive in week 2 and depth jumps in week 3. Athletes get hurt in the landing, never in the jump. Week 1 of 4 — absorb. Landings and low hops only, roughly 80 foot contacts. Every rep is stuck and held: if you cannot land it, you have not earned the right to jump it.
