The MCL holds the inside of your knee together, and keeps your leg from collapsing inwards. This ligament can be damaged by a blow to the outside of the knee pushing inwards. MCL strains and tears are fairly common in football. Mostly the center and the guards are ones who get this injury, due to the grip trend on their cleats (sometimes a helmet hits their knee). The number of football players who get this injury has increased in recent years. Usually the player can continue playing, perhaps with a brace.

Box Squats can increase real-world flexibility. If you widen the stance, push the knees out, and descend under control, you will develop excellent mobility and flexibility in the legs and hips.

There is something special about the start of each college football season. It is important to remember the good about the sport, in order to be happy with what we see.

Sandbags caught some attention when Dinosaur Training was published. However, simply filling a duffelbag with dirt left a lot to be desired. They ripped, leaked sand and simply fell apart with rough use. football players, as a whole, are not known for being nice to training equipment.

For example, the player has football for kids to run 10 yards, go back, run 20 yards, and then go back, then 30 yards, etc. Not only does this help improve a player’s stamina and endurance but it also helps the player learn to take-off and explode into action.

Prowler – The Prowler owns all when it comes to conditioning for football. It can be pushed and pulled for time, distance or speed. It can be loaded heavy or light. See where I’m going with this?

I have found that once the kids believe your threats, they will listen. I do not believe in making idol threats. Every youth football team I have ever coached has listened well because they understood the consequences if they did not. There is no reason to be dictator or run your team as a military unit,but you must maintain some kind of control over the team.
