"Now we are going to do a drill specifically for running backs and everybody who carries the ball in the back field. You have to be on your feet and still make the speed so we call this the cha cha step with some cones. The idea of this drill is to do a 1,2 step in between each cone. First one we are going to try to do is go in a moderate speed left and right one time. After you feel comfortable try to speed up and even time yourself on how many times you can go back and forth in 20 seconds. We would try it moderate speed first. Just think about the cha cha step 1,2,1,2,1,2,1,2,1,2 bring it back, bring it back, bring it back, bring it back. Now you can make it interesting and push yourself if you touch a cone with a couple of push ups in between. Let's try it in a high speed now. That is the high speed version just think cha cha 1,2, in between each cone back and forth without touching the cones. "
