Next Level Training: Speed, Strength, Agility & Conditioning for Football
Next Level
Training is designed to take any athlete to the top
of the competitive mountain. Donovin Darius spends
over two hours covering every aspect in training
athletes for speed, quickness, agility, strength and
conditioning. No stone is left unturned as youth
athletes of various skill levels demonstrate all the
drills, skills and techniques used in Next Level
Training & Performance.
Warm-Up - Darius starts with a dynamic
warm-up that includes 10 drills that get the muscles
ready to fire for competition. Any coach wanting to
transition from static stretching to a dynamic
warm-up will find everything they need in this
video. Darius' dynamic flexibility program shows you
how to develop flexibility throughout the entire
body with the help of 11 movement patterns.
Speed - Learn the proper sprint mechanics to
maximize speed and the common mistakes that will
slow you down. Darius uses resistance training to
improve speed with the use of sleds and elastic
bands. Your athletes will strengthen their drive
phase and learn the mechanics of the "maximum speed
phase" to improve the initial burst out of their
stance and their ability to pull away from the
opponent. Nine ladder drills develop coordination,
timing, quick feet and the ability to move in
multiple directions. The short-burst performed on
the ladder drill will train your body to explode in
and out of space to avoid defenders.
Core - The core is the center of the
universe! This core development program ties in
traditional abdominal strength methods to other
diverse methods that are sure to test any level of
athlete while demanding core stability and
rotational strength. Darius includes 18 drills that
includes a medicine ball series, a pedestal or plank
series, and explosive training drills to round out
the core workout.
Plyometrics - Fourteen plyometric drills load
the muscles and build tendons and ligaments for
explosive quickness and change of direction ability.
Also included are agility drills that incorporate
reaction skills with lateral, linear, and
backpedaling movements.
The variety of drills will amaze you!
Coach Darius does an incredible job of laying out
all things needed to create a competitive team
through flexibility, speed, and agility development.
This video is amazingly comprehensive and will be
the only video you need to make your speed and
agility program complete from beginning to end.
