Message: [QUOTE="Zinethar, post: 4193032, member: 8436"] I did and that was part of my thoughts. It is fine to show her ups that way and I would only be concerned if she tried to dunk like that when in motion during a game. This is part of my concern when the players stand still with their hands in the air. Fine to try to not get a foul call but a terrible position to try to jump for a rebound as it gives no momentum into the effort. I used layup drills with my high jumpers to get the proper motion into a jump. Run, gather, explode off left foot (if right handed), drive right knee up and into the mat, right hand up like doing a layup, land on mat on right foot. The mats were usually about 24" high and all the jumpers (girls/women included) could land on them easily after getting the technique. I MAY have used the analogy of being in a fight you had to win and were kneeing your opponent in an area that would complete that job :D. [/QUOTE]
