How to Play Soccer: Obstacle Jumps

SPEED DRILL 5

OBSTACLE JUMPS

Now let's do obstacle jumps and hops. Use cones or little hurdles; in this case we've got a six-inch hurdle. Start with side to sides, both feet at one time. Pull your toes up so you go right down the middle of the hurdle, not around it. Bounce off the front part of the foot, keep the core stable, sucking the belly button and tucking that back. Apply force to the ground; front to back. Keep your body under control as you go forward and backward.

I tell athletes to try and keep their heels together so they travel straight over the top of the obstacle.

One-foot hops, let's do the same thing now, but isolate body parts, right leg and left leg.

Over and back is one repetition, do 3 sets of 5-10 repetitions.
