so, here is a list of a few drills I have found to be very helpful for different aspects of your game. clap-hop push ups - line up 5-6 markers (like a medium sized pad...anything around that size with some height) in a line 1-2 feet away from eachother. have a partner hold your legs (wheelbarrow) and "hop" over each marker in a clap-push up motion. do 10 sets of this and I guarantee you will be feeling it. great for explosiveness in the upper body and shoulder endurance from holding your partner up sideways clap-hops - similar to the first, with the markers closer together, except you're facing them from the side. the goal is to go down and back as quickly as possible with correct form. so, you're thrusting yourself upwards and sideways simultaneously from the right and left sides. also great for explosiveness. make sure hands hit the ground at the same time. squat walks - this requires a fairly long elastic band. your partner holds it around your waist, you squat down, put your hands behind your head (to avoid using your legs less) and walk. typically I do 20 reps, which is 10 down and back...the length shouldn't be too long. this is very good for leg and core power. curb hops - this is good for agility and leg endurance (mainly calves). you basically step onto and from a curb as fast as you can. it's not a jump, it's like a fast run - one foot will always touch first. 1-3 sets of 1-2 minutes. very good conditioning drill and definitely pushes you to be as quick as possible. well, thought I'd post because I think those are very good. hope you like them.
