Chutes and Ladders

You know I can almost taste the grass in my mouth and see the dirt smashed into the knees of my gray jogging pants (you know like the one’s that Rocky wore!) when I fell for the first time while running through the tires placed on the ground to help increase my footwork.

They were small car tires, but when you’re 12 and weigh about 68lbs. they appeared much larger than that I promise you! As I aged it seemed that the methods and mediums for our skill work and training changed as well.

Soon I found myself performing various hops and footwork drills through the “ropes” as a varsity football player. Shoulders pads weighing you down, helmet squeezing your head and it was hard enough to pick up your knees let alone with the thigh pads in your pants! Every breath you took actually echoed a noise that resembled Darth Vader! Looking back at it, this was great stuff but if you had asked me back then I probably would have had a different answer for you!
