walking up on the back foot

Posted by: Pete (princifamily@hotmail.com) on Sat Apr 20 19:37:05 2002

My son's coaches keep telling him not to "walk up on the back foot". As he rotates he comes up on his toes on his back foot. They keep telling him this is wrong and to stay back and rotate on the ball of his back foot.

Yet when I look at clips in Setpro and at the fram by frame on this site they all seem to "walk up, or are pretty high on their back toes.

Can someone explain what's right?
