"Hi! I'm Windell Yancy with Basic Training Skills and here is my partner Curtis Jackson for Expert Village and we are here to talk to you about speed, agility, power and quickness. Just a reminder any drills you see done today, make sure you have a professional help you with any of these drills. Just don't try to do them on your own. Please do not do these at home without supervision. What we are using today, we are using about 6 inch hurdles and we have them spaced about 24 inches apart. We want to make sure for you younger guys that you don't get too much spacing so they do over stride when they work out and have bad technique when they run. So about 24 inches for the younger. Not much more than that when they are running hurdles. This time we are going to do four in each one. Four feet over each hurdle. Good job. "
