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
