FridayNightPulse Training Tip: Pulaski Academy Bruins TE Drill
Pulaski Academy Bruins tight ends, get ready to take your blocking game to the next level. Coach Thompson's 'Box Out' drill is a game-changer. Set up four cones in a square formation, with 10 yards between each cone. Divide your team into pairs, with one player as the blocker and the other as the defender. The blocker must start in a three-point stance, with their feet shoulder-width apart. On the whistle, the blocker must 'box out' the defender, keeping their elbows in and their hands up. The defender must try to get around the blocker. Perform 3 sets of 10 reps, with 30 seconds rest between sets. This drill translates to game performance by teaching TEs to keep their feet active and their hands up, allowing them to control the defender and create space for the quarterback. Focus on quick feet and explosive hands.
