Coaches, how many times throughout the year do you have your players use cones for change direction drills. Probably often. The problem with using cones with change of direction is that the athlete has already started to shift their weight before getting to a cone before changing directions. This does not simulate change of direction based on reaction.
To properly train athletes for real game situations, they must change directs based on reaction, not by repetition.
The Light Attack uses Perceptual-Cognitive Speed (ex. visual scanning, anticipation, pattern recognition, knowledge of the situation and reaction time) to train this often overlooked aspect of agility training. PCS is absolutely necessary when addressing agility training for athletes.
The video shows pro football players using The Light Attack is a change of direction drill. By athletes reacting to the lights and changing direction, athletes are able to strengthen and train soft tissue in knees, ankles and hips. By performing reaction drills, and strengthing soft tissues, this reduces the chance of severe injuries during practices and games.
Listen to Coach Gilly talk about what this drill works, and as a coach, what to look for.
Train like the pro's, train with The Light Attack.
