That is a common misconception. Use it as a part of your conditioning. Don't run plays from it. I use a whistle not a snap count. It's much hard to expect kids to be good getting out of a position they never get in. Get them comfortable getting in and out of the low hip position and you will see the improvement.
not really sure abt the drop step tech cuz a lot of kids might think it ok to take drop steps when firing out of a stance....as you might kno its as bad as making a drop step everytime you walk to somebody.
The effect of gravity is changed when going up hill. More weight is on the hips and less on the hands. The reverse happens when going down hill. A very gradual decline will challenge the shoulders a lot more. When looking at the shoulders, always as what is the task or position the entire body needs to be. The push up matrix with different hand positions is a great one see the warm up video for that. I will add the lineman spine matrix soon.
some great warm up idea's. just wondering what benefits there are for the shoulders while doing the uphill/downhill tweak? also i'd be greatful if you could point me to some functional dynamic shoulder stretches other than rotations.
