Ashley Jackson, "putting the brakes on" (HGC-Bloemendaal)

Heelstriking ahead of the body to slow down running. Look at the enormous impact on the ankle (shins) and knee joint (quads) to brake his forward movement.
Initiating the braking of movement by leaning the bodyweight backward would reduce impact on joints and muscels significantly.

Okay, that would be a more decent way to put it. But it was a pretty BIG disappointment, as this was an excellent possibiliy (in the last seconds of the match) to make the winning goal.

The player on the knees (nr. 20) is Asley Jackson, one of the best players of the English fieldhockey and playing in the Dutch competition for HGC.
