What the coach says

The words of this video, from its captions.

Warm up number one, the frog jump. In the Amazon rainforest, tree frogs are the greatest jumpers on earth. They leap from lily pad to lily pad. Two feet together, knees bent, and then launch. Watch me first. Feet together, bend those knees, and jump. Two feet land together. That's one. Let's do 10. One, leap like a frog. Two, bend those knees. three, lily pad to lily pad, four, higher, five, halfway there, six, feel the jungle floor, seven, frog jump, eight, almost there, nine, one more, ten, yes, shake out those legs, the jungle is alive.
