Introduction
A rhythm focused coordination drill that teaches players to control their movement tempo, preventing rushed steps and improving overall mechanical smoothness.
Key Points
- Improves rhythm and timing during movement.
- Reduces rushed or uneven step sequences.
- Teaches players to regulate movement tempo consciously.
- Supports smoother upper body mechanics during locomotion.
- Enhances consistency for longer training sets.
Details
Players walk in controlled patterns forward, backward, or laterally at varying tempos to build awareness of movement pacing. A slow tempo emphasizes precision, while a moderate tempo encourages fluidity.
Players must adjust their step rhythm without compromising posture or marker stability. If posture changes or the upper body bounces, the tempo is reduced until stability returns.
Tempo changes encourage players to understand how speed affects their mechanics and how to maintain control regardless of pacing.
This drill is essential for preparing players to handle longer coordinated sequences without developing rushed or unstable footwork.
