Hitting Key Words

By Jill Hirschinger

Here are some key words that are commonly said in our practices:

  1. Eye checks (to see past the block and on the other side)
  2. Stay wider than the ball (feet)
  3. Finish (keep your point of contact and your head connected to the direction of your swing)
  4. It also helps in this picture that Emmy can jump touch 10'4½"
