Figure 9. X hops.

The athlete faces a quadrant pattern and stands on a single limb with the support knee slightly bent. She hops diagonally, lands in the opposite quadrant, maintains forward stance, and holds the deep knee-flexion landing for 3 seconds. She then hops laterally into the side quadrant and again holds the landing. Next she hops diagonally backward and holds the jump. Finally, she hops laterally into the initial quadrant and holds the landing. She repeats this pattern for the required number of sets. Encourage the athlete to maintain balance during each landing, keeping her eyes up and the visual focus away from her feet
