Smooth Braking Steps

What you will learn

Learn to slow down safely after moving forward. This TRAINOVIX lesson shows a simple setup, a specific practice action and a way to notice your progress without rushing.

Practice step by step

1. Warm up first and choose a clear, non-slip area for footwork.
2. Warm up and mark a spacious stopping zone.
3. Jog gently toward the zone, shorten your steps and reduce speed gradually.
4. Check that you can stop balanced with room to spare.
5. Pause between repetitions and favour smooth controlled movement.

Coaching tips

• Avoid sudden stops on slippery ground.
• Avoid maximum effort until a coach has checked your technique.

How to progress

Start with the simplest version of the activity. Give yourself enough time to learn the movement, ask for feedback when useful, and choose a more challenging variation only when your practice feels comfortable and controlled.
