Choose wisely🤔

💊 Med ball jab step side throw

Great for the transition from lateral to rotational movement

You’ll notice the feet strike in quick succession - this is fine, but don’t jump onto both feet, do one jab step

Unlike many other med ball throw variations, it’s fine to step towards the wall

Louder is better!

Curved running focus ↩️

Curved running happens a lot more than you might think:

Reading a deep shot, taking the inside lane, and turning back upfield

These curved running drills help expose your foot and ankle to varied strike angles, and help you control lean and center of mass

👇Constraints-driven footwork: one step at a time

Lateral sprinter starts train first step and hip rotation at the same time 🙌

But it’s rare that we start with both feet on the ground leaning into our cut🤔

A quick lift and stomp creates urgency in the first step > get your foot back down quickly, or you’ll fall over

Single leg starting stance drives the same urgency in the jabstep

Combine the two, and footwork timing follows

🪜Ladder-haters, listen up!

It’s true that the vast majority of ladder drills you see on here don’t displace the athletes center of mass enough to truly develop agility.

Fast feet are not useful.

That said, you can still use ladders to establish patterning, rhythm, and coordination.

We move out of the ladder and into the open field while the footwork is still fresh, and then put the skill in a drill
