Silver Foxes' Summer Camp Focus: CB 'Mirror, Mirror' Drill
📍 Dutch Fork Silver Foxes·Thursday, July 23, 2026·FridayNightPulse Insider
Dutch Fork's secondary coach, Mark Smith, is emphasizing the importance of quick reactions and footwork in the off-season. The 'Mirror, Mirror' drill is designed to improve cornerbacks' ability to stay with receivers off the line of scrimmage. Set up two cones 5 yards apart, with a third cone 10 yards away. Have the CB start at the third cone, then sprint to the first two cones, mimicking the receiver's movement. Complete 3 sets of 10 reps, resting 30 seconds between sets. Coaching cues: 'Stay light on your feet,' 'Mirror their every move,' and 'Don't commit too early.' This drill translates to game performance by allowing CBs to develop a sense of spatial awareness and anticipation, making it easier to stay with receivers on deep routes.
