FridayNightPulse: RB Drill for Div 2 Domination
At FridayNightPulse, we're highlighting a crucial drill for running backs at Div 2 programs like the Detroit King Crusaders. The 'Power Through Contact' drill is designed to improve RBs' ability to break tackles and maintain speed through contact. To set up, divide your RBs into pairs with one player wearing a tackling pad. The other player will attempt to break through the pad, focusing on keeping their legs churning and driving through the contact. Perform 3 sets of 10 reps, with a 30-second rest between sets. Coaching cues include 'Keep your legs moving,' 'Drive through the pad,' and 'Finish through the hole.' This drill translates to game performance by teaching RBs to maintain speed and power through contact, making them harder to tackle and more effective in the open field.
