Jump Control – Improve Landing Stability for Football Players
Watch how to perform Jump Control to improve landing technique and reduce injury risk before football training.
How to Do Jump Control
Stand with feet shoulder-width apart and knees slightly bent.
Jump vertically using your arms for momentum.
Land softly on the balls of your feet, then let your heels touch down.
Keep your knees slightly bent and aligned with your toes.
Repeat for 8–10 reps or 30–45 seconds.
Why Jump Control Matters
Jump Control trains proper landing mechanics, reducing strain on the knees and ankles.
For football players, this means:
Lower risk of injury during aerial challenges.
Improved shock absorption when landing.
More explosive jumping ability.
Practicing this drill ensures you can land safely while staying ready for the next movement.
