FridayNightPulse Training Tip: Brookfield Central Lancers' RB Drill for Explosive Gain
📍 Brookfield Central Lancers·Wednesday, July 22, 2026·FridayNightPulse Insider
This summer, Brookfield Central Lancers' RB coach is emphasizing explosive acceleration in his running backs. To achieve this, the team is running a 3-set, 5-rep drill focused on the 'Hill Sprints with Lateral Shuffle'. Players start at the base of a 20-yard hill, explode up the hill, and immediately transition into a lateral shuffle along the top. After 5 reps, players rest for 2 minutes before repeating the process. Coaching cues include 'explosive drive' and 'quick feet'. This drill translates to game performance by improving RBs' ability to quickly change direction and accelerate through holes. By focusing on this drill, Lancers' RBs will be better equipped to break tackles and gain extra yards in the 6A playoffs.
