Jump height comes from center-of-mass velocity at takeoff—not what happens in the air. Tucking, moving the arms, or landing slightly off-center won’t change the physics. Standardize for safety, not perfect plate landings. #SportsScience #StrengthAndConditioning @DChristophi

Cue the jump, not the landing. Focusing on how to land can lower jump height and distort the result. Keep testing cues consistent, then address landing mechanics afterward. #SportsScience #StrengthAndConditioning @DChristophi
More rounds don’t always mean better training. Once performance hits a ceiling, stop—then athletes can get more quality work with less unnecessary impact. #SportsScience #AthleteTraining @DChristophi
