Correct Load or Negative Move






An easy way to load is to take your back foot and press the ball of the foot into the ground. When you are in your correct athletic stance, with your knees inside your ankles, and you press the ball of your back foot into the ground, you will feel the weight on the inside of your back hip through your compressed knee.

The pressing of the ball of the foot into the ground will cause you to sink. This sink is what must occur for a proper load.
TIPS TO CHECK:
  1. weight shifts back to the inside of the back leg and hip (slow and controlled). Sit into back hip
  2. center of gravity shifts to behind the head
  3. head, shoulders, hips, knees stay level
  4. putting yourself in good attacking position
