Strong ankles = better force into the ground. ⚡️

Your foot and ankle are the first thing that touches the ground when performing any athletic movement. If they are weak or lack mobility, you won’t be able to produce and transfer force effectively in your sport.

Here are 6 ankle isometrics we use to challenge athletes from different positions and force angles.

Get into position → push into the wall HARD → don’t let the ankle collapse.

These can help develop ankle strength/stiffness, improve the ability to tolerate and transfer force, and expose the lower leg to positions athletes experience during acceleration, jumping and change of direction.

Try 1–3 sets of 3–5 second MAX-effort pushes in each position.

Save these for your next training session. ⚡️

What if I told you….
You need to spend just as much time training this, as you do training in the weight room.

Agility Training for Baseball + Softball Players ⚾️🥎

What I love most about these is the competition. It makes you want to speed up to win. When this happens, are you going to focus on catching/fielding the ball? Or get too sped up and make an error? These two had several attempts where they got sped up and didn’t make the play. Push yourself and be willing to fail in training so you can make the play when it matters in a game.

This is the closest thing I’ve found to true agility training for baseball and softball players that doesn’t involve being on a field and using a bat/ball.
