Escape techniques are techniques that are used by a player to evade a player while advancing up the field. Escape techniques are primarily used by defensive players to evade the blocks of the offense, but these drills also apply to wide receivers trying to evade a “Jam” technique from a defensive player. Players use a series of these escape technique drills daily to create muscle memory in their arms while doing these drills with a partner.

The Tire Push/Pull drill is a combination drill that incorporates both conditioning and technique work. The Tire Push/Pull drill is used to aerobically build strength in an athletes entire body while developing strength in their Push/Pull and escape techniques from a block of an offensive player. I use repetitions of this drill daily to develop Push/Pull skills of my athletes.

The 3 Cone Reaction drill is an agility drill that builds a player’s change of direction speed while in movement. I use this drill as a conditioning drill to test my athlete’s focus and change of direction speed while they are on the move and fatigued. Players must be able to react and change direction at the speed of the game while on the field. The 3 cone reaction drill prepares them for such scenarios.

This drill measures the linear and direction changing speed of an athlete over a 20 yard distance.

This series of drills is used with the purpose of developing quickness at the hands, shoulders and power at the hips and feet while coming out of the player’s stance at the point of attack. I use repetitions of these drills everyday to develop quickness and power in the player’s arms and legs that they will be using while playing football.

Develop quick hand strike in defensive players. Develop muscle memory with hand striking the medicine ball. Translate Movements functionality to the football field.

The purpose of the Broad Jump drill is to measure a players hip explosion from a given point to the completion of the Broad Jump movement.

The purpose of the Get-Off Progression drills are to teach players proper start technique in run and pass situations. The step progressions are important for players to learn so that they can redirect and attack the offense in every situation. I use repetitions of these drills everyday to create muscle memory in the athlete’s legs, feet and hands that they will be using while playing football.

The purpose of the Footwork Progression drills are to develop speed and quickness in the athlete’s legs and feet. Players need to be able to change direction within one step on the football field, and these drills develop just that. I use repetitions of these drills everyday to create muscle memory within the athletes legs and feet that they will use while playing football.

The direct purpose of using a functional and effective warm-up progression is to warm-up the athlete’s muscles before strenuous exercise. You want to have their blood flow and heart rate raised to the levels needed to sustain proper blood flow during athletic competition.
