Dr. Jeff Huber discusses and demonstrates dryland drills divers can practice to learn and improve skills related to springboard diving. Drills that teach specific skills and provide for a quick transfer of learning to actual dives are outlined and demonstrated by elite-level divers. These drills help teach skills such as the forward hurdle, backward press, take-off, come-out, and entry. Drills used here are ones divers can perform without the aid of special equipment.
