Skipping vs Bounding

[hscoach]

@S.Bones

I’ve wondered about this, too - especially with developing/high school athletes.

Bounding is very technical, skipping less so. In conversation the other day, I suggested that skipping for height and distance gives one most of the value of power bounding with only a fraction of the risk of injury and programming bad recruitment patterns.

Others?

i have noticed this as well. most of my hs kids cannot ALB, but they can power skip … so we just don’t mess with what we cannot do well.
