Athletes looking to improve rotational power should begin utilizing the Kbands Resistance Leg Drive Drill. This drill enhances rotational power by increasing leg drive. This translates into greater power produced during a pitch or during the bat swing.

To set up the Lateral Speed Drill athletes will need 2 Speed and Agility Cones and a set of Kbands. Place the Speed and Agility Cones at a distance that will be challenging, but achievable, for the athlete. Athletes will securely attach the Kbands just above the knees and begin by standing in front of one of the Speed and Agility Cones. 

Athletes will raise their inside leg, balance, and prepare to explosively jump to the opposite Speed and Agility Cone, landing and balancing on the opposite foot. Once balance is achieved the athlete will explosively jump back to the opposite Speed and Agility Cone, repeating the process for as many repetitions as desired.

Athletes will perform 4-6 resisted sets of the Lateral Speed Drill with 8-12 repetitions per set. Following the resisted sets athletes will remove the resistance and perform 2 unresisted sets of 8-12 repetitions. The Lateral Speed Drill should be performed explosively, therefore 45-90 seconds of rest should be given between sets of the Kbands Resistance Leg Drive Drill.
