Shuttle Run
Also called: suicides, line drills
Coaching cues
- accelerate low out of the start
- decelerate with short, choppy steps
- sink the hips to touch the line
- plant and drive hard out of each turn
Common mistakes
- braking on a straight leg
- bending from the back instead of the hips at the line
- rounding the turns instead of planting and cutting
Take care with: knee, ankle. Members who list these injuries never see this exercise in a program.
Easier: Lateral Shuffle
