Change-of-Direction Drill

The drill develops smooth transitions between lateral and linear movement. The full sequence combines backpedaling, sprinting, decelerating, returning to the start, and lateral shuffling. The drill is performed as one continuous sequence rather than as isolated movements. The drill sequence moves directly from lateral shuffling into a forward sprint. The drill trains front-to-back and front-to-side change of direction. The drill trains change-of-direction ability by pairing a lateral shuffle with an explosive forward sprint.
