Video courtesy of CrossFit HQ.  Warning, a little bit of adult language thanks to Coach Bergener.  Coach walking Dave Lipson and Nadia Shatila through a snatch balance drill.  An impprtant point Coach makes here applies to both the snatch balance and the snatch.  When you land in either the snatch balance or the snatch, your feet need to land the same place you have them when you overhead squat. DO the drill he had them do.  Do a few overhead squats, take note of where your feet are.  Move the feet then into the jumping position.  Now, do a few snatch balance.  Make sure the feet land in the same place you just had them during the Overhead Squat.
One difference in our world and Coach Bergener’s world, we use collars always! 🙂
Another important point on the snatch balance, you have to get your body down FAST!  Use the arms to push the body down as well.
