FridayNightPulse Training Tip: Traverse City Central Trojans RB Drill
📍 Traverse City Central Trojans·Thursday, July 30, 2026·FridayNightPulse Insider
At Traverse City Central Trojans, our running backs are working on the 'Power Through Contact' drill to improve their ability to break tackles and gain extra yards after contact. The drill involves setting up four cones in a zig-zag pattern, with a defender at each cone. The RB starts at the first cone and must run through the course, using their legs to drive through contact and break tackles. Start with 3 sets of 10 reps, focusing on proper footwork and body positioning. Coaching cues include 'drive through your legs,' 'keep your head up,' and 'explosive finish.' This drill translates to game performance by teaching RBs to maintain their speed and power through contact, allowing them to gain extra yards and break tackles.
