Introduction
A coordination drill that teaches players to synchronize lower body steps with stable upper body mechanics to create smoother full body movements.
Key Points
- Improves whole body mechanical integration.
- Reinforces stability during movement.
- Reduces upper body sway triggered by footwork.
- Builds predictable coordination patterns.
- Essential for later dynamic training.
Details
Players begin in a balanced stance with the marker held in a ready position. They perform slow, repeated steps in multiple directions, keeping the upper body centered and level.
Each step must be matched with a corresponding micro adjustment of the upper body to prevent sway. These adjustments are subtle and focused on maintaining alignment.
The drill teaches players to anticipate the movement of their center of gravity, producing smoother and more stable locomotion.
This synchronization becomes the backbone for all advanced drills that require coordinated, multi directional movement.
