FridayNightPulse: CB Clinic - Bryant Hornets Style

This summer, 7A cornerbacks are putting in the work to be ready for the season. One drill that's making waves at Bryant High is the 'Shadow Shuffle.' It's a simple yet effective way to improve reaction time and footwork. Here's how to run it: Set up 5 cones in a zig-zag pattern, 5 yards apart. Players start at one end, shuffling through the course without looking up. After each rep, they quickly change direction, reacting to a coach's call to 'shadow' a defender. This translates to game performance by allowing CBs to stay in phase with receivers and anticipate their next move. Run 3 sets of 10 reps, with 30 seconds rest between sets. Coaches, cue your players to 'stay low, stay light' and 'react, don't react late.'
