KEY DETAILS

DRAFT COACHING NOTES — FOR PARENT / COACH REVIEW

  • Ask your coach to check the starting position and grips before drilling.

  • Keep your base controlled as you begin the movement from bottom.

  • Move your hips and shoulders together instead of twisting your neck.

  • Practice slowly with a cooperative partner and stop if anything feels uncomfortable.

COMMON MISTAKE

Rushing the turn before your position and grips are secure can make you lose control.
