NFL Alumni Youth Football Camp coaches have two goals in developing youth athletes.

One way — sound, fundamental, athletic drills with multiple football skill elements. 

The second — and maybe the most important.   Note the voice, the body language and the engagement of the coaches as they run the drills.  

The video shows endless benefits within one “small space drill.”  We are teaching change of direction, balance, and explosivity; all of which are crucial to a developing youth athlete’s skills.   We are reducing injury risk and building muscle memory.

But most important, NFL Alumni coaches are bringing energy, fun and encouragement but being fully engaged in the drill itself.
