Explosive Power for 5A Running Backs: The Imhotep Charter Drill
This summer, Imhotep Charter Panthers running backs are putting in the work with a game-changing drill that translates to game-day dominance. The 'Power Burst' drill focuses on explosive acceleration and power. To set up: 3 cones in a line, 5 yards apart. Start at the first cone, then explosively accelerate to the second cone, planting your outside foot and driving through the ball. Immediately, change direction and accelerate to the third cone. Repeat for 3 sets of 10 reps. Coaching cues: 'Explode off the line,' 'Drive through the ball,' and 'Quick change of direction.' This drill builds the power and speed needed to break tackles and make defenders miss. By mastering the Power Burst, Imhotep Charter's running backs will be unstoppable come fall.
