Game-Changing CB Drill for Benedictine Cadets
📍 Benedictine Cadets·Saturday, July 25, 2026·FridayNightPulse Insider
The 'Shadow' Drill is a game-changer for cornerbacks at 4A programs like Benedictine Cadets. This drill focuses on footwork, agility, and reaction time. Set up a 10-yard cone course with 5 cones in a zig-zag pattern. Players start at the first cone and must 'shadow' a coach or teammate, mimicking their every move. Each player completes 3 sets of 10 reps, resting for 30 seconds between sets. Coaching cues: 'Stay on their hip,' 'Mirror their movement,' and 'React to the ball.' This drill translates to game performance by improving a CB's ability to stay with receivers on routes and anticipate the ball in the air. It's a critical skill for Benedictine Cadets to master as they prepare for the upcoming season.
