Ten yards of lateral crossover steps, then a hip opening and a ten-yard sprint. The crossover is the fast lateral movement: it covers more ground than the shuffle and lets you follow without turning your back, and it’s the opening that finishes it that counts.
Key points
- On a crossover step, the leg goes in front, not behind: if it goes behind, you get stuck and can’t move forward again.
- Keep your shoulders facing the area you need to cover throughout the lateral movement.
- The opening comes from the hip, in a single step, never from a half-turn of the shoulders.
- One minute between runs, three each way.
Common mistakes
- Turning your shoulders before your hips, which costs a whole step.
- Standing up during the crossover, which cuts the ground you cover.
