Drill #10 - Short Shuttle (NFL Shuttle):

This drill improves your ability to change directions laterally.



Procedure:

* Measure off ten yards on your conditioning field.
* Place two markers ten yards apart.
* The athlete starts in a three-point stance in the middle of the two markers (five yards from each marker).
* The athlete begins by staying low and sprinting to his right five yards and touching the marker with the right hand. After touching the marker the athlete changes direction sprinting ten yards to the opposite marker. After touching the second marker the athlete again changes direction returning thru the starting line.
* It is important to face the same direction on the turns. This hips you to be able to change direction off of both legs.
