Yes, Your Landing Ability Matters as Much as Jumping 🦘

Jumping gets plenty of attention in training. But what happens when you come back down? Landing requires your body to absorb force, control movement, and prepare for whatever comes next.

Good landing mechanics depend on:

· Force absorption: Your muscles need to control the impact instead of allowing your joints to take the full load. 🦵
· Alignment: Your hips, knees, and ankles need to work together. Poor positioning can place unnecessary stress on your joints.
· Control: A good landing is not simply about touching the ground. You should be able to stabilize yourself and stay balanced before moving again.

This matters whether you are playing a sport, jumping during a workout, or simply trying to improve athletic performance.

Training your jump without training your landing leaves out half the movement.
