Rams Rush: 3-Step Speed Bag Drill for Owasso DEs

This summer, Owasso Rams defensive ends can improve their speed and agility with a 3-Step Speed Bag Drill. Divide players into pairs, with one athlete holding a speed bag and the other performing the drill. Set up three cones in a row, spaced 5 yards apart. The athlete starts at the first cone, then sprints to the second cone, performs a 180-degree spin, and finishes with a sprint to the third cone. Repeat for 3 sets of 10 reps. Coaches should emphasize explosive acceleration and rapid change of direction. This drill translates to game performance by improving DEs' ability to quickly close gaps and pursue ballcarriers. By incorporating this drill into their pre-season training, Owasso DEs can gain a speed advantage on the field.
