Explosive Power for 5A RBs: Stillwater Pioneers' Summer Camp Drill
📍 Stillwater Pioneers·Friday, July 10, 2026·FridayNightPulse Insider
The Stillwater Pioneers' coaching staff has developed a drill to enhance the explosive power of their running backs. The 'Power Ladder Blast' involves a ladder placed on the ground with rungs spaced 12 inches apart. Players start in a three-point stance, then explosively jump from one foot to the other, landing on the rungs. Perform 3 sets of 10 reps, resting for 30 seconds between sets. Coaching cues include 'quick feet' and 'explosive power.' This drill translates to game performance by improving acceleration and power out of cuts. To increase difficulty, add resistance bands or a weighted vest. The Pioneers' RBs will be ready to blast through defenders come August.
