<< PREV     NEXT >>

• Assume single-leg stance with forward body lean and off leg elevated behind
• Bend balancing knee; hold position for full second
• Keeping head down and chest low, explode out by driving off leg
• Stay low and accelerate for 15 yards
• After three reps on each leg, perform three 40 starts

Coaching Points: Load front leg by pressing heel toward ground. Keep head down and focus on quick, powerful arm swings.

Richesson: This is a progression based on stability; we are trying to give them the ability to hold that posture. We want them to be able to generate power from that loaded position. If they can’t hold the single-leg position, they will greatly limit their explosion.
