Diving Tips
I got A LOT of tips about diving from you guys, so I picked the best ones and put them here! (I bolded the ones that appeared most frequently.)
- DO NOT THINK
- Get your body low to the ground
- Head up and hands out
- Wrap your boobs if you’re really freaked out about them
- Get a comfortable sports bra that has padding
- Practice on a slip and slide
- Don’t jump
- Go down gently but quickly, like an airplane
- Don’t slow down
- Always dive with hands in fists. Open fingers mean broken fingers
- Arch your back to take your boobs off the ground
- Don’t tense up, just relax
- Don’t dive like Super Man, just kinda sprawl out
- Your weight should land on your forearms
- Practice diving by starting on your knees and just laying out. Move up to starting in a catcher’s stance once you get comfortable
