Avoiding Jump Rope Burnout (Hosted by Sonny Smith) (#26)

“Jump rope becomes this really fundamental thing in our lives. To just be able to spread that to other people and put out something positive… why not?” — Nate K-G

This episode is another installment of my Q&A series where I have other jumpers interview me. In this show my good friend and previous guest Sonny Smith (@the_unconventional_ropestress) jumps on the phone and asks me some really fantastic questions. This episode is a little bit shorter than usual, but we go very deep into each of the different topics. We talk about how to deal with and reframe jump rope burnout, balancing jump rope with video projects and the rest of life, why I started my weekly newsletter, and more.

You can listen to the podcast on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, Stitcher and Overcast.

📝 A note on jump rope terminology…

Using the term “Leg Over” is more preferable to “Krouger,” “Cougar,” “Crooger,” or any other variation of this name.

Kroogar is a bit more popular, but it’s a very non-specific name.

Granted, you can do whatever you want, this is the internet after all haha. But if you’re looking to understand jump rope more clearly, adopting the “Leg Over” terminology is a bit more descriptive and can help when testing out related skills and combos (like the Leg Over Swing, Leg Over Release, EB Leg Over Swing, etc.)
