How to do it
- Begin by standing on one leg, with the bent knee raised. This will be your start position.
- Using a countermovement jump, take off upward by extending the hip, knee, and ankle of the grounded leg.
- Immediately flex the knee and attempt to touch your butt with the heel of your jumping leg.
- Return the leg to a partially bent position underneath the hips and land. Your opposite leg should stay in relatively the same position throughout the drill.
