In this short video, World and Olympic coach Robert Tebby offers a valuable drill for developing the feeling of using “big muscles” to pull in on jumps (and spins). One of the most common jump errors is when skaters simply “pull in” by just focusing on their hands and feet without maintaining tension in the rest of their body. Robert has the skaters accelerate a backspin by trying to pull in the top of their arms and the top of their free leg. The video shows some good examples!
