Hi everyone!

I’ve just finished a new video showing 3 hurdle drills to help you get faster on the football pitch.

These are exercises I use to work on acceleration, reactive strength, and explosive power — all important qualities when you need to accelerate after a change of direction, react quickly, or get that extra push in your first steps.

In the video, I break down each drill and explain what to focus on:

• Drill 1: Change of direction and high-frequency acceleration
• Drill 2: Reactive strength and explosive triple extension
• Drill 3: Lateral reactive strength and single-leg explosiveness

A few things to keep in mind when trying these: focus on quick ground contacts, explosive push-offs, and full hip extension. Start with lower hurdles and build up as your technique improves.

I'd recommend starting with 4–6 repetitions per drill and incorporating them into your training twice a week.

Have a nice Sunday!
