Eagles' Eyes: CB Drill for Graham-Kapowsin's Secondary
This week's training tip focuses on a key drill for cornerbacks at 4A programs like Graham-Kapowsin Eagles. The 'Shuttle and Turn' drill aims to improve reaction time and foot quickness. Set up two cones 10 yards apart, with a third cone 5 yards beyond the second. CBs will start at the first cone, then shuttle back and forth between the first two cones, turning 90 degrees to face the third cone after each rep. Perform 3 sets of 10 reps, resting 30 seconds between sets. Coaching cues: 'Stay low and balanced,' 'Keep your eyes on the target,' and 'Turn your hips quickly.' This drill translates to game performance by allowing CBs to quickly change direction and stay in phase with receivers, making it ideal for Graham-Kapowsin's Eagles' secondary.
