Power Through Contact: DeMatha Catholic Stags RB Drill
📍 DeMatha Catholic Stags·Friday, July 24, 2026·FridayNightPulse Insider
This summer, DeMatha Catholic Stags running backs are focusing on building strength and agility with the 'Power Through Contact' drill. The drill consists of three sets of 10 reps: a 10-yard sprint, a 10-yard change of direction through a cone, and a 10-yard dive through a tackling pad. Coaches cue the players to 'explode' out of the sprint, 'stay low' through the cone, and 'hit the pad' with their shoulders. This drill translates to game performance by improving RBs' ability to break tackles and maintain speed through contact. By incorporating this drill into their training, Stags RBs will be better equipped to power through defenders and make big plays on the field.
