"Heavy" Feet

Ah an interesting conundrum and one every coach faces at some stage in their career…the athlete who pounds the ground. I think the place to start first is attempting to identify if its a structural or technical issue. Trying different cues to see if it makes any changes and / or performing reactive strength tests (drop jumps or even hurdle jumps) to assess structural issues might be a good place to start (do you have flat feet?).
