Explosive Power Drill for Running Backs: Great Falls Bison Style
The Great Falls Bison football team is gearing up for a dominant season and their running backs are no exception. To improve their explosiveness and power, the Bison coaching staff has implemented a drill that targets the key muscles used in running back play. The drill, dubbed 'Power Step,' involves three sets of 10 reps. Begin by having the running back stand over a small hurdle or box, then explosively step over it, landing softly on the balls of their feet. As they step over, they should be focusing on driving their knees and hips forward, generating power from their core. Coaching cue: 'Step over it like you're jumping over a defender.' This drill translates to game performance by improving the running back's ability to quickly change direction and accelerate through holes.
