Hi everyone!
I have been working on crossovers, and I can do them just fine on my right, but my left crossovers are tragic. I can do them if I lift my foot up and cross it over like that, but I can’t do the sliding method. I end up crossing my right foot under when I try to do it that way. Any tips?

How is your knee bend? Often on the side we’re less comfortable with people have a tendency to rise up instead of stay down in the knees and that can make them harder to complete properly.

You may not be twisting your shoulders and leaning into the circle the same way on both sides. Why don’t you try to get a friend or coach to take a video of yourself and comparing?
