So having a block between the feet is a kino type of correction. Or if you&#8217;ve used <span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/gumroad.com\/l\/anklmagz\/tcexclusive\">AnklMagz<\/a><\/strong><\/span> before, then you know they also help correct by helping athletes &#8220;feel&#8221; when the feet should come together.\u00a0And feel is definitely important. A common saying in any type of sport is that an athlete can&#8217;t <strong>fix<\/strong> what they can&#8217;t <strong>feel<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<h3>2) Environmental Constraints (&#8220;EC&#8221; for short)<\/h3>\n<p>This type of correction applies to when you change the environment of an athlete to essentially &#8220;force&#8221; them into the correct type of body position or alignment. For example, take a look at the video below. Notice how the way in which the drill station is set up essentially forces the athletes to jump in their hurdle, lunge straight and narrow, then land on the crash mat. They essentially cannot go sideways because their environment has been &#8220;constrained&#8221;.<\/p>\n<p>[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row column_structure=&#8221;2_3,1_3&#8243; _builder_version=&#8221;4.26.0&#8243; background_size=&#8221;initial&#8221; background_position=&#8221;top_left&#8221; background_repeat=&#8221;repeat&#8221; width=&#8221;100%&#8221; max_width=&#8221;1200px&#8221; module_alignment=&#8221;center&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][et_pb_column type=&#8221;2_3&#8243; _builder_version=&#8221;4.16&#8243; custom_padding=&#8221;|||&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221; custom_padding__hover=&#8221;|||&#8221;][et_pb_code admin_label=&#8221;Round Off Example&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;4.27.2&#8243; text_orientation=&#8221;center&#8221; hover_enabled=&#8221;0&#8243; z_index_tablet=&#8221;500&#8243; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221; custom_margin=&#8221;31px||||false|false&#8221; sticky_enabled=&#8221;0&#8243;]<iframe class=\"lazyload\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/c_SLq-LbpL4?controls=0\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\"  \"rel=0\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>[\/et_pb_code][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=&#8221;1_3&#8243; _builder_version=&#8221;4.16&#8243; custom_padding=&#8221;|||&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221; custom_padding__hover=&#8221;|||&#8221;][et_pb_cta title=&#8221;Show Your Support&#8221; button_url=&#8221;https:\/\/donate.stripe.com\/fZe5lrfot1Fy9yMeVY&#8221; url_new_window=&#8221;on&#8221; button_text=&#8221;Donate Now&#8221; admin_label=&#8221;Donate Support&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;4.27.2&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; header_font=&#8221;Jost||||||||&#8221; header_letter_spacing=&#8221;1px&#8221; body_font=&#8221;Jost|300|||||||&#8221; body_letter_spacing=&#8221;1px&#8221; background_color=&#8221;rgba(18,0,51,0.85)&#8221; custom_button=&#8221;on&#8221; button_text_size=&#8221;18px&#8221; button_bg_color=&#8221;#3e25aa&#8221; button_border_width=&#8221;5px&#8221; button_border_color=&#8221;#2f10b7&#8243; button_border_radius=&#8221;4px&#8221; button_letter_spacing=&#8221;1px&#8221; button_font=&#8221;Jost||||||||&#8221; button_icon=&#8221;&#xf4be;||fa||900&#8243; button_on_hover=&#8221;off&#8221; button_alignment=&#8221;center&#8221; width=&#8221;100%&#8221; max_width=&#8221;100%&#8221; max_width_tablet=&#8221;86%&#8221; max_width_last_edited=&#8221;on|phone&#8221; module_alignment=&#8221;center&#8221; max_height=&#8221;100%&#8221; custom_margin=&#8221;43px||0px||false|false&#8221; custom_margin_tablet=&#8221;||20px||false|false&#8221; custom_margin_phone=&#8221;|16px||16px|false|true&#8221; custom_margin_last_edited=&#8221;on|desktop&#8221; custom_padding=&#8221;23px|20px|38px|20px|false|true&#8221; custom_padding_tablet=&#8221;|23px||23px|false|true&#8221; custom_padding_phone=&#8221;|11px||11px|false|true&#8221; custom_padding_last_edited=&#8221;on|phone&#8221; border_radii=&#8221;on|6px|6px|6px|6px&#8221; border_width_all=&#8221;2px&#8221; border_color_all=&#8221;#4328B7&#8243; box_shadow_style=&#8221;preset1&#8243; box_shadow_vertical=&#8221;-3px&#8221; box_shadow_spread=&#8221;9px&#8221; box_shadow_color=&#8221;rgba(55,0,158,0.58)&#8221; global_module=&#8221;4647&#8243; saved_tabs=&#8221;all&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221; max_width_phone=&#8221;86%&#8221;]<\/p>\n<p>If you find the content on this page helpful and want to support future updates and run-time costs, please consider a small donation.

By standing on the narrow floor beam, an athlete is forced to stand with legs tight and together (EC). However, when you ask them to squeeze a block between their feet (or use <span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/gumroad.com\/l\/anklmagz\/tcexclusive\">AnkleMagz<\/a><\/strong><\/span>) now you&#8217;re adding an element of &#8220;Kino&#8221; to the mix.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>And I can tell you 1st hand that once you get your rep numbers up, you can definitely feel a difference!<\/p>\n<p>But with <strong>added complexity<\/strong>, comes a <strong>higher learning curve<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>Not only did I spend time playing around with different set ups for this, but it also took me a few reps before I got comfortable with it. And I&#8217;ve been doing back handsprings for a loooong time. So don&#8217;t expect this to magically fix your (or your athlete&#8217;s) back handsprings right away. It will be a process.<\/p>\n<p>Also, this drill is probably not a great candidate for someone who is NEW to the skill. So keep that in mind.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Hope you get to play around with it and have some fun!\u00a0<\/p>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: center;\">Enjoyed This Drill?
