Foot Speed Drill

Basically, you’re stepping forward using a diagonal shuffle, alternating between your left and right foot as an anchor through the center of your path. On the way back do Defensive Shuffle. Merged these two for time.

Lunges

Lunge forward for 20 yards, then return back to the original starting spot and repeat for three sets. Be mindful to land evenly on the foot, driving evenly to work the glutes and hamstring with every rep.

Frog Jumps/Bounds

Bend your knees to gather your weight, then jump forward, landing on both feet evenly. Explode with both legs and use the momentum to carry you into each successive jump. Perform the movement for 20 yards, return back to the start, then repeat for three rounds.

COT:
“Action is a great restorer and builder of confidence. Inaction is not only the result, but the cause, of fear. Perhaps the action you take will be successful; perhaps different action or adjustments will have to follow. But any action is better than no action at all.”–Norman Vincent Peale
