Why this drill
Builds toward break down a specific mechanical skill frame-by-frame to identify the root cause of a fault.
Instructions
- 1Select 8-10 clips of the same skill, such as your stride or shot release.
- 2Play each clip in slow motion, pausing frame-by-frame at the key mechanical moment.
- 3Compare against a model example of correct mechanics for that skill.
- 4Note the exact frame where your mechanics diverge from the model.
What to focus on
Pinpointing the exact frame where mechanics break down.

Common mistake
Watching at full speed and missing the precise moment of the fault.
