Explosive Power for 6A RBs: The Flyer Frenzy Drill
At 6A powerhouse East St. Louis Flyers, running backs need to be explosive, powerful, and quick. To achieve this, we've developed the Flyer Frenzy Drill. This high-intensity workout targets the glutes, hamstrings, and quads, translating to game-changing speed and agility. The drill consists of 3 sets of 10 reps: (1) Box jumps onto a 24-inch box, immediately followed by (2) a 10-yard sprint to a designated cone, and (3) a 180-degree cut back to the starting point. Coaching cues include: 'Explode off the box,' 'Drive through your heels,' and 'Cut on a dime.' This drill simulates game scenarios where RBs need to accelerate quickly and change direction rapidly. By incorporating the Flyer Frenzy Drill into their pre-season training, RBs at 6A programs like East St. Louis Flyers will be ready to dominate on the field this fall.
