Exercise: First Step

  Print This Page  Send to a Friend

How many times have you been told to keep your eyes up and never cross your feet on the football field? Probably thousands. But, again, the fundamentals of flawless technique on the field don't match the techniques needed for a fast 5-10-5.

ROONEY: "Once your stance is correct, then and only then can you move to the first step. For the first step, we have our athletes cross over with the left leg if they're moving to the right, and stay low with their eyes down. Do not turn and face the line for the first five yards."
