Unlocking Defensive End Potential at Mater Dei Monarchs Open Programs
Mater Dei Monarchs defensive end prospects, get ready to take your game to the next level with this explosive training drill. The 'Speed to Power' drill is designed to improve your ability to transition from speed to power, a critical skill for dominating on the edge. Set up a 10-yard course with 5-yard markers.

Perform 3 sets of 5 reps, resting for 2 minutes between sets. Coaching cues include 'Speed to Power' and 'Up, Up, Up.' This drill translates to game performance by allowing defensive ends to quickly close the gap and finish plays with power, making them nearly unstoppable on the edge. By incorporating this drill into your training, you'll be a force to be reckoned with this season.
