Ankle Bounces - View #1

A drill designed to facilitate a strong dynamic foot action utilizing the shin and calf muscles and using the foot as an active spring to push the body forward. Knees should be relaxed and not locked, but the upper leg should not be used. Use only feet ad calves underneath center of mass to "paddle" pr push the body up and forward.

The toe must first come up (dorsaflex) in the air so that the athlete can forcefully push down through the ground at contact in order to push the body in the air, allowing time for the athlete to dorsaflex all over again.
