This series of Hop Drills incorporates resistance band training to help develop more explosion in the hips
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 “Hop From Refit” is an effective counter to a Bull Rush. Players develop the muscle response to counter pressure backwards by implementing the hop
The “Partner Hop” Drill reinforces the mechanics of the “Brace Hop” by being forced to only use the lower body to stop the oncoming pressure
The “Over the Line” drill is the first drill in the “Brace Hop” progression. This drill teaches players how short the hop backwards should be by giving them a visible point of reference
The “Hop” introduces the most effective means of defeating the Bull Rush
The “Brace+Hop” is a pressure response to a player being pushed backwards. By taking a small hop backwards and landing on the insteps, the player is able to redirect opposing force vertically by uncoiling the hips. This is another great leverage recovery drill that should be drilled often.
