A great combine workout today for Andre Dixon (UConn) and Jeff Logan (CCSU). We spent a lot of time working on the 3 cone drill ("L" Drill) and just getting the technique down. The guys are working real hard and I can already see the difference in only the second week. For many football players the "L" drill is the most difficult combine drills. It features several changes of direction, tight turn around the cones and quck acceleration to the finish line. Other than the 40yd dash it is the most important drill because it really exposes the level of flexibility of the athlete's hips and that is what the scouts want to see. What we did today was break the drill down in two parts. The change of direction and the figure eight where the athlete has to take tight turns. After doing several repetitions of both drills we did some test runs on the "L" Drill. At the end of the workout the athletes got a taste of the prowler suicides. It's a very intense drill using a prowler that tests the athlete's conditioning. The guys will have a lifting session tomorrow then its back on the track on Friday for some speed work.
