Footwork lays the basic ground work for balance, acceleration, deceleration and change of direction.
Performance agility is the ability to move, accelerate, decelerate and change direction while maintaining balance and body control.
Speed is the repetition and result of the rapid and fluid integration of power, balance, biomechanics, muscular endurance and range of motion.
Flexibility supports joint stability and and range of motion, allowing athletes to function safely and efficiently in multiple planes.
Skill Enhancement Training (S.E.T.) drills are an instrumental part of the overall building process for pass catchers and ball handlers. S.E.T.s are integrated throughout segments of footwork, agility and balance work.
Strength training is a major variable that can affect explosion, acceleration and the ability to sustain body positioning during the course of ballistic activity. Strength training regimens are based on helping the athlete increase muscle recruitment and minimize injuries.
Chalk talks are a crucial part of the mental aspect of football and is frequently used to compliment the evaluation of assignment, technique and on-field performance.
