Proper exposure and progression in plyometrics is an important component of getting an athlete back to their sport⚽️🏀⚾️
Before an individual is taught to jump, cut, and change direction, they must first master how to decelerate, control descent, and land adequately. 
It is imperative that athletes learn how to eccentrically control through different movement patterns, both on double and single leg. 
Here, Emily shares a few introductory movements she likes to use to teach an athlete how to “pump the brakes.” There are a plethora of drills that focus on the components of deceleration and once an athlete is ready, it’s time to jump!😆
