Which of the following cues is not appropriate for the skill of hopping?

Have good forward motion
Land and propel off your entire foot
Use your arms for balance
Reach for the sky

The correct answer is: Land and propel off your entire foot

Landing and propeling off your entire foot is not appropriate for the skill of hopping because hopping primarily involves the use of one foot for both landing and take-off, rather than utilizing the entire foot. In the context of hopping, the key mechanics focus on balancing and springing off the ball of the foot of the hopping leg. This motion allows for effective propulsion and control during the skill. On the other hand, having good forward motion is crucial for maintaining momentum when hopping, and using arms for balance helps to stabilize the body during the dynamic movement of hopping. Reaching for the sky, while not a technical cue, can encourage height and rhythm in the movement, emphasizing upward motion which is beneficial in a hopping context.
