We teach calm arms at the start of our 4 step approach. We want our players to hold their arms straight down and in front and not move them on steps one and two. This video is focused on steps three and four.
As a player transitions from step two to step three there is an explosion of energy as they swing their arms back behind them. The more aggressive the better. We hope to get them parallel to the floor behind the hitter. Too many simply drop them to their hips robbing them of a ton of momentum.
Steps three and four our very quick and short. As the player lands on three, her arms start coming forward. On four, they are passing in front of her hips coming up. The idea if to use the arms to pull themselves up.
The following video speaks to this and shows a drill for using your arms on steps three and four.
