Plyometric Training: Single Leg Bounds

This plyometric drill is a single leg, right leg bound, used for sprinters and jumpers. The athlete should have good ground contact directly under their center of mass while maintaining posture with the upper body. The athlete should keep their chest as high as possible and avoid collapsing at the waist. The athlete should remain straight up, hammering the foot into the ground, recovering quickly with the knee coming up to the front side as quick as possible.
