FridayNightPulse: 6A CBs Get Ready for Fall with 'Mirror Man' Drill
📍 Lone Peak Knights·Friday, July 31, 2026·FridayNightPulse Insider
Cornerbacks at 6A programs like Lone Peak Knights are gearing up for the upcoming season with a unique drill designed to improve their reaction time and footwork. Dubbed 'Mirror Man,' this exercise involves two players facing each other, with one player wearing a mirror on their chest. The other player must react to the 'mirror man's' every move, mimicking their footwork and body positioning. Perform 3 sets of 10 reps, with 30 seconds rest between sets. Coaches should emphasize staying low, keeping eyes on the 'mirror man,' and mirroring their movements precisely. This drill translates to game performance by allowing CBs to anticipate and react to receivers' movements, creating better opportunities for turnovers and defensive stops.
