FridayNightPulse Training Tip: RB Power Shuttle Drill
Nashua South Panthers running backs, are you ready to take your speed and agility to the next level? This summer, focus on the Power Shuttle Drill, a game-changing exercise that translates to explosive plays on the field. Set up four cones in a square formation, with each cone 5 yards apart. Start at one corner, then shuttle to the adjacent corner, back to the starting corner, and finally to the opposite corner. Complete 3 sets of 10 reps, resting for 30 seconds between sets. Coaching cues: 'Quick feet, fast hands' and 'Change of direction, not change of speed.' This drill improves acceleration, deceleration, and reaction time, essential for breaking tackles and turning the corner on a run. By mastering the Power Shuttle Drill, Nashua South RBs will be unstoppable this fall.
