Multdirectional Drill of the Day "Sprint, Sprint, Sprint, Sprint"

This is a drill where the focus is on sinking your hips and prevent too much lateral extension prior to changing directions. The athlete is looking to keep their foot straight and push in the frontal plane and change directions. The theme of the 10 yard "Box" drill with a smaller disc cone in the middle to represent the 5 yard marker in between each 10 yard distance. The athlete will start in an athletic position outside of cone #1. They will sprint towards the next cone, so they will always be sprinting forward. The athlete will begin by sprinting towards cone #2 when they reach the midway point or the disc cone they are going to decelerate and sprint towards the center cone, cone #5 circle around it and then sprint back to the path between cone #1 and cone #2. Once arriving at cone #2 the athlete will decelerate and turn towards cone #3 and continue sprinting towards cone #3 at the midway point or disc cone they will decelerate and sprint to cone #5 circle around it, and sprint back to the path between cone #2 and cone #3. The athlete will continue that pattern for the entire length of the box until returning to cone #1. I have a diagram and video below. Work Smarter, Work Harder, ENJOY!
