Power Through Contact: A 5A Running Back Drill for Westfield Shamrocks
📍 Westfield Shamrocks·Saturday, July 11, 2026·FridayNightPulse Insider
This summer, Westfield Shamrocks running backs can dominate on the field with a powerful drill that simulates game-day contact. The 'Power Through' drill consists of 3 sets of 10 reps. Players start in a 3-point stance, then explosively drive forward, lowering their center of gravity and extending their arms to absorb contact. As they hit the pad, they immediately transition into a 180-degree spin, showcasing their ability to change direction quickly. Coaches cue players to 'drive through the pad' and 'keep their legs moving.' This drill translates to game performance by building strength, agility, and the ability to maintain speed through contact. It's a must-have for any 5A running back looking to take their game to the next level.
