So, pushups.
That kid looks like she’s primetime.

Push up demonstrations from Annie Sakamoto, one of the OGs, and recent top 10 game athlete.
GOOD Push ups: Rigid body that moves as a single unit: chest, quads, chin touch together. THIS DOES NOT MEAN YOU COLLAPSE QUADS TO TOUCH GROUND. Full extension at top with head neutral.
BAD Push ups
1) Sagging Hips. Your hips touch the ground before chest and chin. Often times your hips will also be the last to leave the ground.
2) Sagging Hips + Partial Depth: You sag your hips to the ground and push up with out ever having chest or chin hit depth.
3) Reaching with the chin: Your chin hits the ground and your butt is wagging in the air.
4) Head Drops: Your body is not in a rigid position and does not move as a single unit.
5) Partial Range of Motion – Low: This is common for strong athletes that are trying to speed through their push ups. They hit the bottom, but never have full extension at the top. Often times not even realized.
6) Partial Range of Motion – high: They never hit the ground. The athlete usually knows they are doing this, but is scared to fail if they do full range of motion.
7) The Snake: A variation of sagging hips, but it is only on the way up. It is common when athlete is fatiguing, but I don’t see it as much different than a knee push up. I see this often at 718, and should be avoided. Tight abs and glutes can help avoid this, and properly managing work load so that you do not go to failure and can keep going with your push ups.
Enjoy your push ups! Today is a rest day for me (; BUT I will probably incorporate some of these into my warm up tomorrow.
And here is Fun with Push ups:

And here is a Ring Push up Video with Nicole, another OG and recent game athlete (I would, however, externally rotate rings at top of push up) :
