"Technique is something very important that you should focus on from the very beginning. Because when you start with bad technique and your coach is not giving you the right advice, you keep the bad technique and that will have an impact on your muscles, joints, bones, wrists... and you don't want to injure yourself." - Sebastian Deeg
Sebastian Deeg has been jumping for over two decades and was one of the first jumpers I found when I started jumping. As you'll hear about in our chat, I used to re-watch his videos frame by frame, over and over and over. Please do yourself a massive favor and check out the videos that are linked in the show notes for this episode - you will NOT want to miss them!
We discuss so many different topics, including advice for beginner recreational jumpers, thoughts on leaving competition and becoming a "former" competitive jumper, the importance of being patient and working on fundamentals, what it takes to be an elite jump rope athlete, and loads more.
