The “Brace+Hop” drill trains players to uncoil their hips to drive their hands. A partner will apply pressure backwards forcing the player to brace+hop and uncoil their hips.
The Fit to Finish drill reinforces players to close and climb with their hips after contact. Developing and training this skill combats the instinctual response of taking a long “greedy” step after contact.
For most players, the missing link in understanding how to fully uncoil the hips is the “Teeter”. This drill uses a harness to allow players to feel and develop the slight teeter transition of weight prior to the uncoil.

The “Launch Drill” is a Sharpen Drill that gives instant feedback to whether a player is properly uncoiling their hips.
The “Wrecking Ball” Drill is a great Sharpen drill to train and develop hip explosion.
The “Long Jump” is a Shape drill that emphasizes the importance of using the hips for power. Distance of the “Long Jump” is created by exploding and uncoiling the hips.
The “Launch Drill” is a Sharpen Drill that gives instant feedback to whether a player is properly uncoiling their hips.
The “Hook Drill” is a Sharpen Drill that gives instant feedback to whether a player is properly uncoiling their hips. The Partner is elevated when the hips are uncoiled properly.
