5 Challenging Agility Cone Drills



This clip demonstrates why it is so valuable to look at what athletes from other sorts can show us to help cricketers become more agile and athletic.
This could be a very useful session within a training day as it works at balance, foot speed, explosive power and cardio endurance so it can be used by batsmen who are looking to become faster on their feet (everyone!), bowlers who are looking to bowl with more balance and explosive force (everyone) and fielders who are looking to be more mobile side to side and attacking the ball (everyone!!)
Remember - there is no point in doing agility drills at a jog - YOU MUST BE TRYING TO DO EVERY REP AT FULL SPEED so the rule of thumb for agility drills is "Short repetitions - Flat Out - Recovery 30secs plus as long as it takes to complete the rep." ie If it takes 30sec to complete the rep: rest for 60 sece before repeating. If it takes 45 secs to complete the rep, rest for 75secs before repeating.
Enjoy!
