Cone Drill
Shuffle sideways from cone to cone along a row of low cones, changing direction at the cones; the feet never cross.
How to do it
Setup
Low athletic stance beside a row of low cones, feet wider than the hips, weight on the balls of the feet.
Steps
- Push off the trailing foot and shuffle sideways to the next cone.
- Plant the outside foot with the knee bent and change direction.
- Keep the hips low and level; the feet stay apart.
Common mistakes
Standing up at each change of direction: the stance stays low from cone to cone. Planting on a straight knee: bend it and keep it over the foot as you stop. Crossing the feet to go faster: a shuffle keeps them apart.
Breathing
Fast steady rhythm.
