• Stand with feet shoulder-hip width apart
• Lean forward keeping straight line between shoulders, hips and ankles
• Fall forward until you begin to lose balance
• Explode forward into sprint off left leg, drive right knee to chest
• Repeat for opposite leg

Coaching Point: The point just before you feel like you’re going to fall on your face is when you have to explode forward into the sprint. The emphasis of this drill is maintaining a straight line between your shoulders, hips and ankles.
