<< PREV     NEXT >>

• Start in push-up position with arms bent, chest on ground
• Place hands flat on ground next to chest, toes touching ground
• Extend arms and pushup off ground
• Drive right knee toward chest and explode off right leg into sprint
• Repeat for opposite leg

Coaching Point: The most common error with this drill is bending at the waist as you come out of the push-up position. Make sure to keep a straight line between your shoulders, hips and ankles.
