Red Devils' CBs Get Ready for 7A Showdown with 'Shadow' Drill

Central-Phenix City Red Devils' cornerbacks are gearing up for a challenging 7A season with a new drill that's sure to test their skills. The 'Shadow' drill involves a defender mirroring a receiver's every move, staying one step behind and anticipating the next play. To set up the drill, divide the defenders into pairs with a coach or trainer providing a receiver. Each set consists of 3 reps, with a 30-second rest in between. Coaching cues include 'eyes on the receiver' and 'stay on their hip.' This drill translates to game performance by improving the defender's ability to read the receiver's body language and stay in phase with their movements. It's a valuable tool for any 7A program looking to dominate on defense.
