1. Foot function. Everything you do starts with how you contact the ground, without a strong foot you cannot control anything else up the body. Activate your feet each day in order to be fast, powerful, and healthy!
2. Single leg hip flexion with knee extension. I loooove this. So many touch points! Feet, hip, lower back and spine, opposite quad. Before we go fast, we gotta wake up and activate what you’ll be recruiting.
3. Plyos. Again, everything starts at the ground. If you do not build a strong base inside your body and then bring your relationship with your own body to the ground, the ground will not help you. If the ground doesn’t help you, how could you ever be fast, aggressive, and elusive?
4. Running mechanics. Switch is a big deal! One of the main areas of improvement for most youth athletes, this drill warms up ground contact, full body stiffness, and true switching as opposed to stepping.
