• Sit on ground with knees bent, heels just off floor and holding med ball at chest
• Rotate left until ball touches ground outside hip; rotate right until ball touches ground outside hip
• Repeat pattern continuously

Coaching points: Touch ball to ground as far behind you as possible // Keep feet off ground throughout exercise // Do not rush movement
Goodstein: We’re working on the obliques, which are important for soccer with the amount of rotation and kicking that [the athletes] do.
