The Way you have always done it!

2. Do not “dive” where your feet leave the ground.
3. Do not go in with your head down and your back curved.
4. You will have no power and worse absolutely no idea of where to direct it.
5. You must not reach down to grab his legs.
6. You are driving him up and off the ground!
