Acceleration Sled Training

The drill of the month is the acceleration sled. Our coaches will use the resistance from the sled to help our athletes develop proper acceleration mechanics. By loading the sled with anywhere from 50-100% of their bodyweight they are able to focus on four important aspects of acceleration. Big Force, Small Time, Proper Direction, and Optimal Range of Motion. A coach determines how much weight to use by assessing an athletes technique. If an athlete has a tendency to reach on their first step then they might need a heavy resistance to drive back. The video shows four of our NFL Combine athletes using the sled to improve their acceleration: Ryan Purvis, Scott McKillop, Brooks Foster, and Clay Matthews.
