TRAINING
Game-Changing WR Drill for Rocky Mountain Grizzlies
📍 Rocky Mountain Grizzlies·Tuesday, July 21, 2026·FridayNightPulse Insider
As the Rocky Mountain Grizzlies prepare for the upcoming 5A season, wide receiver coach, John Smith, shares a drill to improve route running, separation, and ball skills. The 'Cone Box Drill' requires three cones in a box formation (2 feet x 2 feet) and a target (e.g., a small goal post or a bucket). Players start at the edge of the box, sprinting to the center cone, then make a sharp cut to the target, using the outside cone as a guide. Complete 3 sets of 5 reps, focusing on quick feet, sharp cuts, and accurate target placement. Coaching cues: 'Fast feet, fast feet' and 'Inside foot first.' This drill translates to game performance by improving WRs' ability to quickly change direction, beat defenders, and secure passes in traffic.
