Kansas City Chiefs Glenn Dorsey: Speed Warmup

Glenn Dorsey, a defensive tackle for the Kansas City Chiefs NFL football team, talks about his speed warmup workout. ""We do jumping rope as a warm up for guys, but they’re working on their ankle flexers. And when you’re working on you work on your ankle flexers, your toes, when you land on the balls of your feet you have to push off your ankle flexers. So when we do jump ropes, we start off between two and four hundred jumps, whatever we have for that day. And when the guy’s explosive and he’s powerful and he’s able to push off his ankle flexers, that may be the position where he gets that two extra off of every step. Ladder’s quick feet. I mean even--we had one of the kids, you know, Thursday and Fridays, they’re athletes, they get to pick whatever drill they want. But in the latter we don’t try to hop and that’s one thing. We did one drill that was hopping because they bring that from school. But the idea of the quick foot ladder is to work on quick feet. We’re not using that as a workout. That’s just to get them started to get their motor running, so we’re just using that to get their feet firing and try to be explosive.""
