We’ve all seen the wall drive drill, and hopefully our athletes have performed it at home. A newer variation of the wall drive, the single leg wall drive, focuses on back leg extension and glute engagement during the acceleration phase.
Back leg extension during the sprint in probably the most under-looked aspect of increasing speed. If you have any questions about how your athlete can utilize this drill at home, or how we can help you improve your athlete’s acceleration, leave a comment below!
