AGILITY DRILL 7
LINEAR/LATERAL RUN & SLIDE
Linear or lateral Run and Slide with change in direction. Here we want to start with the forward to backward. We are going to run forward and stick and hold our position. We want to stop the body motion. Do it with the right, turn around, go back and stick and hold with the left. That teaches the muscles what we want it to do. Stop the body and stabilize.
Now go straight into a linear run, plant and backpedal. Run forward, plant with the other leg, backpedal. Get used to stopping the body and changing direction. Come out plant with the right. Push back. Come out plant with the left, push back. Great change in direction and body control skill.
Now let's go backward to forward. We start with the backpedal. Stick and hold. Turn around do the other leg. Backward, stick and hold. We want to teach the body how to stop its momentum so that we can change direction for greater skill and ability.
Now let's go right into backpedal to break forward. We come back, plant, explode forward. Balance out by using each leg equally. Do as many with the right as you do with the left. Try not to take those false or negative steps. Step down. Push away.
Now let's go side-to-side. Let's work on our lateral motion.
Lateral slide, stick, hold the position. Work both directions equally. Stopping and getting control of the body. A good lateral slide by pushing away from the direction we want to go.
Now, let's go right into lateral slide with change in direction.
Down and back is one repetition. Do three sets of three repetitions.
