@kaizenrugby: Contestable Kick Offs 🏉 Set yourself up under the posts and see how close you can get while keeping the ball above the crossbar - instant feedback on the height and hang time you need to make it a genuine contest. ⬆️ Ball drop - aim for a big vertical bounce. The higher it comes back up, the more time you have to get under it and strike it cleanly. ⏱️Patience - wait for the ball to reach its peak before you strike. Most players rush this. Striking at the peak rather than on the way up is what creates the hang time. 🕺🏼Posture - stay big through the strike. Collapsing through your trunk limits your hip’s range of motion and kills the power. 🎯Follow through - drive through the ball toward your target. Your kicking leg should finish high - that’s a sign you’ve committed to the kick. #rugby #rugbytraining #kicking #dropkick
