A two-legged plyometric jump drill (load: static to elastic, medium level). From a seated position the player jumps vertically and, on landing, drives straight forward in a horizontal jump using the power of both legs and arms. The drill trains the body to produce power seamlessly in different directions. Land under control and finish in a stable position. One set includes two executions. Suits older players with good base strength, not younger children. See the video. Source: FIFA Training Centre (Instagram).
