Maximizing Block Efficiency: Liberty Patriots OL Summer Drill
This summer, Liberty Patriots OL players can improve their block efficiency with the 'Box Out' drill. Divide players into pairs, with one player as the blocker and the other as the defender. Set up a series of cones to form a box, with the blocker at one corner and the defender at the opposite corner. On the whistle, the blocker must quickly change direction and drive into the defender, aiming for a 'box out' position. The defender must react and try to stop the blocker. Repeat for 3 sets of 10 reps. Coaching cues include 'square up' and 'drive through.' This drill translates to game performance by teaching OL players to quickly adjust to defensive stances and maintain a strong block. Focus on proper footwork and body positioning for maximum efficiency.
