Burke Bulldogs' Speed Coach Shares Proven Drill for S Players
The Omaha Burke Bulldogs are known for their high-powered offenses, and a key component of their success is the speed and agility of their S players. To improve their quickness and reaction time, the Bulldogs' coaching staff uses a drill that targets the 'hitch' movement. The drill involves three sets of 10 reps, with a 30-second rest period between sets. Players start in a three-point stance, then explosively jump to a four-point stance, before quickly returning to the three-point stance. Coaching cues emphasize 'quick feet' and 'fast hands.' This drill translates to game performance by improving the S player's ability to quickly change direction and accelerate off the line of scrimmage, making them a nightmare for defenders to cover. By incorporating this drill into their training, S players can gain a significant edge in the upcoming season.
