Speed Training

SPEED TRAINING

BIG SKIPS

This one of our favorite warm up drills at Rush 101 Human Performance. We call them Big Skips

In a forward lean drive the left foot into the ground while driving the right knee to the sky. At the same time drive the left arm as high as possible and explosive, while keeping the arm at a ninety degree angle from the elbows. You are trying to get as high as possible and gain as much distance as possible with every skip. Your will repeat this for 20 to 30 yards. This drill is great for young athletes.

KEY TIPS

1. Drive the knee to the sky
2. Drive the opposite arm to the sky
3. Explode with every step
4. Finish Strong
