From Approach to Landing
Playful and dynamic warm-up focusing on running and jumping coordination. Introduction to and practice of different jump forms and running drills. Methodical approach to developing a run-up - how to find the individual stride count and rhythm? Practical take-off and landing exercises. Learn to identify typical errors and apply targeted corrections in everyday school settings.
Small Exercises, Big Impact
We run, jump, and train - often without real preparation. Even experienced athletes often neglect preventive work. This session explores the question: why? With simple exercises and minimal equipment, we build a strong foundation for healthy movement. Focus areas include feet, fascia, and common weak points such as ankles, hips, and core. Practical tips and effective tools (e.g. mini bands) help prevent injuries and improve resilience - not just for runners, but for athletes of all disciplines.
