Hi my name is Otis St. Clair and today I'm here to talk to you about a few running back drills. Great running backs have great foot work. Today a few drills that we are going to do and we are going to work on to be able to become more agile to avoid the hit. So the first drill we are going to work on is our weaving in and out cone drill and then we are going to go into our hop cut drill. So let's go take a look at how this is done. What we will do is we will start here using the football tucked away properly and we'll just weave in and out of the cones working our proper foot placement, planting outside with each foot as we cut back in through the cones. As I do that you watch how I keep my center of gravity low, I plant on the outside with the outside foot and come back through the cone. That is to avoid slipping and missteps. Going down to the next drill which is our hop cut. We are going to start here at this cone, run, hop with two feet, come back to the inside, to the next cone, hop with two feet, the next cone, hop with two feet, cut back and score a touch down down on the last two cones. Hop, hop, plant, hop plant, and score. Now you can do a few different things with those drills. At the end you can spin, change up and go the opposite direction. Like I said before great running backs have great foot work. The weave drill and the hop cut drill, practice them at home. Those are some drills for your running back. My name is Otis. Have a good day.
