I found a great video a user was kind enough to compile and post on youtube:

Sometimes doing our best to just emulate a better athlete is enough to improve our technique.

The 2nd pull on the snatch is critical.  In the above video pay particular attention to the location at which the bar makes contact with the hips.  Many of us have been bouncing the bar off of the point just above our knees.  This creates a horizontal push type motion instead of vertical.  Subsequently the bar path upwards is going to loop much further out from us than is necessary or desired.  Let’s try to clean up that technique today!
