Fisayo Adarabioyo - Helping Professional Football - Defensive Suggestions
Conditioning: Quick step crossing
Football is all about action and reaction, and those that
practice reacting quickly in a variety of directions will dominate the field.
This drill will help players quickly change directions on the field. The drill
takes place in small four corner area that you can draw out or use the lines of
the field. The drill starts by having a player stand in one area or box, and
has them jump diagonally, laterally, frontwards, and backwards from one area to
another. Coaches should encourage one foot jumping to increase further strength
and reactions on the field.
Playbook Practicing
Practicing the plays is fun, and also very important. When
you master your part of the play it will strengthen your team and yourself. In
order to start learning a play, make sure that you first pay attention to the
instructions when they are given. As you start to practice the play make sure
to slow it down, there is no sense in practicing errors. Remember that if you
need help, you should ask for it. At times we have seen a player fail to
advance or refine their techniques because they don't ask for added assistance.
Don't let this happen to you The last helpful hint that we want you to learn is
the power of visualization. Go over the plays in your mind, over and over
again. Make your mind work them out and your muscles memorize them even when
you sleep
Running will increase performance
If you have more energy at the fourth quarter then your
opponent then you have won, and the best way to get endurance are running
drills. These drills are meant to help you play your hardest throughout the
entire game. Though running drills can be a big help to your game, many people
complain the most about the running. Because in the end, the team or players
that are the fastest are the ones that win the championships. Running has a
final help to your team, and that is learning how to push beyond your limits,
you will be surprised how often that happens in football, and in life
Up Downs Conditioning Drill
Out of all of the football conditioning drills up downs is
one of the most popular. Players will start this drill by running in place as
fast as they can, keeping their knees high as possible. Then at random a coach
will yell, "down" or blow a whistle at which the players must dive to
the ground do a push up and then jump back into running in place. Because this
drill can be very taxing, it is important to increase the time spent at this
slowly over time as the player's strength increases.
