In brief
What you will learn
- •A harder kick may hide rather than solve balance.
- •Head position changes the whole body line.
- •Test one variable at a time.
Look forward less
Lifting the eyes and head often lowers the hips. Test a longer neck and a downward gaze during a supported glide before changing the kick.
Separate balance from fitness
Short, quiet glides reveal more than exhausting repeats. Film or ask a coach to observe one variable at a time.
- Release unnecessary neck tension.
- Exhale without collapsing the chest.
- Add propulsion only after the body line improves.
