Introduction
A stability drill that teaches players to maintain a strong balance anchor consistent center of gravity positioning during holds and mild directional adjustments.
Key Points
- Improves center of gravity awareness.
- Reduces unintended posture drift.
- Strengthens lower body control during static holds.
- Builds stability for movement integration.
- Supports all directional footwork drills.
Details
The balance anchor hold drill trains players to maintain a stable center of gravity while performing light controlled movements.
Players start in a neutral stance and identify a personal 'anchor' the point where their weight feels most centered. They then perform small directional nudges with the hips, returning to the anchor after each thought out shift.
The upper body remains aligned while the lower body performs the adjustments. The goal is zero wobble or compensatory leaning.
Practicing this anchor focused hold develops strong lower body stability that directly supports movement, posture transitions, and advanced stability drills.
