Sports drills using cones are a great way for athletes to develop acceleration, speed and strength in hips and legs. Athletes playing sports like football not only need stamina and endurance but also agility and improved foot speed on the field. Core strength and fast footwork go hand in hand for the athletes. In this video, we will tell how you can use the Reactive Stretch Cord along with Kbands leg resistance bands to achieve great upper body strength along with strength and agility in the legs.

The cone drill begins with placing four speed and agility cone within a distance of 10 yards between the first and the last cone. The two cones in the middle are kept a distance of 3 yards from each other. To begin the workout, you have to put the Kbands leg resistance bands just above the knees at the level you feel comfortable with. Then, strap on the Kbands and get the Reactive Stretch Cord on the front side of the waist. 

The workout begins with the athlete sprinting towards the third cone, then transition back to the second cone. Then accelerate again for an additional 10 yards till the last cone. When the athlete is sprinting to the third cone, the partner has to give slack in the Reactive Stretch Cord to let the athlete come back to the second cone. The full length of the Reactive Stretch Cord is about 20 feet which is perfect enough for acceleration training. This prevents the cord from getting tangled in the legs of the athlete. This workout stimulates different body parts. Not only the legs muscles are being strained and worked out, the ankles are also being mobile and quick. As you turn out around the cones, you achieve faster muscle activation. One very important point to remember during the workout is that along with the acceleration that is being derived from the Reactive Stretch Cord, it is very important to work on the knee drive as well as footwork.
