On this week’s Deliberate Practice series, Keith Grabowski and Andy Rylan follow last week’s topic of juice with momentum. How can coaches have the momentum needed in practice to get quality reps in practice without the extra collision? Keith and Andy talk about some unique ways to get those reps without this from happening. They provide resources from coaches and our football development site as it can give new ideas to coaches to implement right now.
