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

Frog Jumps/Bounds

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
