FridayNightPulse Training Tip: Rams Rushing Attack Prepares for Gridiron Showdown
📍 La Salle Academy Rams·Sunday, July 26, 2026·FridayNightPulse Insider
At La Salle Academy, the Rams' running backs are gearing up for a dominant season with a grueling drill that simulates the physicality of a high school football game. The 'Power Through Contact' drill involves 3 sets of 10 reps, with each rep consisting of a 10-yard dash through a narrow, cone-lined tunnel. As the RB approaches the tunnel, they're instructed to 'lower the shoulder' and 'drive through the contact' with a focus on explosive acceleration. The coaching cue is to 'power through the first 5 yards, then accelerate to the finish.' This drill translates to game performance by replicating the RB's ability to break tackles and maintain top-end speed, a crucial skill for success in the RIIL Division I playoffs.
