Football Field

Once the quarterback has placed the ball in the pocket, or opening, the running back immediately clamps down on the ball protecting it and holding on to it. As the running back runs off with the football it is important to stay low to increase agility and speed. Conditioning Drill: Up Downs Out of all of the football conditioning drills up downs is one of the most popular. Players will start this drill by running in place as fast as they can, keeping their knees high as possible. At the coaches signal the players will drop to the ground and do a push up, and then quickly get back up and start running again. Because this drill can be very taxing, it is important to increase the time spent at this slowly over time as the player’s strength increases. Making and effective Angle Tackle The reason for angle tackles is simple, cover the shortest area to get to the tackle, but there is still a great need to practice this technique.

Customer Review: Great training DVD
I bought this for my husband so he could work with our 10yr old son. It’s a great training video for wide receivers. It shows how to catch the ball properly and different running routes. It even has a section for a work-out routine. I think kids from age 8 to college would definitely benefit from this video. Great video quality.

Customer Review: New Edition of this Book
I’m a multi sport athlete who trains all year round regardless of what sport I play. I bought a few of these Ultimate Guide to Weight Training books, and they definitely helped me train specifically for the different sports that I play. Then about a year later I received an email from amazon that there was a new edition out. These upgraded editions are even better than the originals, with more articles and a lot more sport-specific information. I would definitely recommend this series to anyone who plays a lot of sports or wants to specifically focus on training for one sport in particular.
Customer Review: This book is helpful for football players
I work for a high school and got books for all our coaches for fitness training. Our football team already had a training schedule, but we picked up a few tips from this book anyways. Every little bit helps when you are trying to prepare for battle on the field. This book did the job.

Customer Review: Absolutely the Best
I have only been doing this program for a little while, and it is as great as everyone says it is. Someone earlier said it is great for 16-45 year olds, but Im about to turn 15 and it works great for me. It would also work great for someone over 45, as their are at leat 10 different exercises for each body part to choose from. I suggest you stop whatever program you may be doing right now and try this one, I have looked into numerous other programs and attended camps and this is by far the best program I’ve found do far.
Customer Review: Year round training
I’m a woman in training for the IWFL (yes, there is women’s football; check out californiaquakefootball.com.) This book has helped my training immensely. It covers just about everything. All lifts are expressed as a percentage of your maximum single-repetition weight (e.g., 8 x 60%)–which means I can use it as easily as the big boys. Bring a calculator to the gym, or else sit down and figure out the numbers beforehand, unless you are one of those people that can instantly calculate 60% of 130 to the nearest 5… well, you get the idea…

Buy this book & be bigger, stronger, faster. What else do you want?
