Bedford Bulldogs LBs: Mastering the 'Speed to Power' Drill
This summer, Bedford Bulldogs linebackers will be honing their skills with the 'Speed to Power' drill, designed to enhance their explosiveness and tackling ability. The drill consists of 3 sets of 10 reps, with 30 seconds rest between sets. Players start in a 3-point stance, then explosively drive forward 5 yards, planting their outside foot and immediately transitioning into a tackle stance. As they drive, coaches will emphasize 'quick feet, not quick hands' and 'keep your eyes up, stay disciplined.' This drill translates to game performance by allowing LBs to quickly close gaps and make contact with ballcarriers, showcasing their ability to accelerate and decelerate in a split second. By mastering this drill, Bedford Bulldogs LBs will be ready to take on the competition this fall.
