How to Develop Quick Hands with a Medicine Ball

Football Done Right Efficient, Effective Coaching Methods and Strategies Hi and welcome to Football Done Right an interactive coaching website done for coaches by coaches. My name is Coach Matt Stern. Today we’re going to be doing a Medicine Ball hand fighting drill used to develop power through your hands coming out of your three-point stance in a run get off situation. I have player one and player two in position with a large medicine ball placed in between the two. Player one is going to fire his hands out of the medicine ball driving the medicine ball towards player two. Player two will then fire his hands out driving the medicine ball back towards player one. They’re going to be shuffling down within a 5 yard increment in this case from the 10 yard lien to 15 yard line. At the 15 yard line their going to change direction and shuffle back. All the while continuing to fire their hands, drive the medicine ball towards each other. Very simple easy drill used to develop strength in your hands and quickness in delivering your initial punch out of your three point stance. Player one ready, player two ready, set, go! [Player one and two demonstrating] Now great job on the drill, we’ll position the camera so we could show you from a side angle and again they’ll do the drill. Usually I have my players run through twice again giving them maximum repetitions in this drill so they can develop again that quickness in their hand strike and power coming out of their three-point stance. Players ready, set, go! [Player one and two are demonstrating] Quick hands, quick hands, quick hands, quick hands, excellent! Again this is a medicine ball hand fighting drill used with a large medicine ball developing strength in there hands and quickness in their initial get off out of that three point stance.
