Begin standing upright with your feet hip width apart.  Dip into a quarter squat position by bending at the knees and hips while pushing your arms behind your body.  From this position rapidly accelerate your body out and up at a 45 degree angle by extending your hips, knees, and ankles and aggressively swinging your arms.  Using maximal effort, jump as far out as you can horizontally.  When you return to the ground, absorb the landing with your hips and knees.  Reset in the upright position and repeat for the designated number of repetitions.  This drill can be performed as individual jumps or repetitively.  When performing repetitive jumps, as soon as you return to the ground jump again.
