You are correct. One hand both directions. In this specific training session we had many athletes who were asking about the path traveled during this drill. So we focused more on the path leaving the the turn out of the second phase of the 3 Cone Drill. The next step we add in the one handed approach. Since most young athletes are comfortable with lateral agility this allows us to focus on the circular element and bring in the proper hand positioning later.
@Willimarryme When working with speed drills it is important to maintain fresh legs so that technique does not fade. I would suggest running this drill 6 to 8 resisted and then 2 to 4 unresisted. This will give you the benefits of the bands as well as give you that feather like feeling to train with. Be sure to warm-up properly before beginning. If you go to our training website KbandsTraining . com you will find the football section. There is several other training videos there as well.
Go to my website KbandsTraining . com. Look under the training tab and click speed/vertical. In that section you will want to click training videos. There you will find a list of speed and agility videos you can use. One of them is my 40 yard breakdown videos on how to start properly and train for a faster time. Let me know if you have any other questions.
The thing is, when approaching the first cone, the first time, you should be pushing off the ground with the glutes and hip abductors (outside leg), not pulling against the ground with the hip adductors/groin (inside leg). Change of Direction is a pushing action, not a pulling action. Pushing with the more powerful muscle group is physiologically and neurologically advantageous (Lee Taft talks about that a lot in his Speed & Agility cert) and ensures that less powerful muscle fibers (groin) are not at risk for injury. The outside leg (hips and glutes) decelerates the athlete with some assistance from the contralateral groin, and then re-accelerates the athlete and essentially provides a plyometric effect to push the athlete in the opposite direction at the highest velocity possible.
I was under the impression that you cant put your hand on the ground when rounding cones. Usually it results in DQ. I am a college athlete and this is how we run things. Correct me if I'm wrong please,
freshpowder222 Keep in mind that this is a training drill utilizing kbands. We are completing drills to help with agility to the left and right. Normally the three cone drill is tested just to the right.
kbandstraining NFL teams want to see the player keeping their speed while bending. Putting the hand on the ground will increase the speed of the drill, but it defeats the purpose.
Hello, those are Kbands Leg Resistance Bands. They will enhance your training and athletic performance. You can get a set of Kbands here kbandstraining.com/buy-kbands/
You guys kinda ran it wrong. Basically on how you touch the line or cone. On the first touch he doesn't suppose to face the L cone (if that makes sense). And on his way back he basically suppose to use the same hand that he did but he suppose to face the L cone. Then once he gets to the L cone he suppose to break down and "arch" around to the finish line
Long time coach here, and speed-agility coordinator for dozens of football teams. You clearly know what you're talking about, but this video is an incredibly poor representation of your program and your coaching knowledge. The guy demo-ing the drill repeatedly makes mistakes. He looks like he's not even interested in doing it right. Watch how many times as he's walking through the segments while the narrator speaks, when he doesn't even both to touch his hand down on a direction change even though the narrator says "and we touch there" (like at 1:06) or, worse, uses the wrong hand and touches nowhere near the line (at 2:30). He also, on the first 'touch' demo, at 1:02, doesn't sink his hips down in a good athletic position. He keeps his legs essentially straight and bends his back. That's just wrong, athletically. As a coach, you know that athletes, especially younger ones, often tune out the speaking while someone is demo-ing or walking a drill. They will see and 'learn' these incorrect movements from the video, rather than hear your words (which are all correct) Re-do your video with a demo athlete who understands the importance of doing it right every time. You are better than this video.

Awesome! I’m going to run this drill with my athletes
some of those tips can help with a shuttle time too.

just found this website and i have a high school combine in dallas next year and i needed to learn this
glad it helped. I have a lot more videos similar to this one you can use as well.
Should be a right hand touch on both touches
@GroveSquadEnt Very true.
They can range from a 6.5 all the way up to an 8. It really all just depends on your level of training and age.
what would u suggest for a good hamstring workout..and or getting faster at the 40 yard dash?
Great instructional video!

Is this in rockwal tx?
We learned that 3 cone drill don’t matter. DK
It still does, dk is 6’4 pure muscle with a freak jumping ability, for standard wide receivers it does bc agility causes separation
is that turf island
How many sets should you do?

freshpowder222 No DQ. Ideally you want hand touches on the first two turns and then your focus turns to circular speed.

This helps alot because I am doing this in school, but uh whats that on the guys leg?

the Drills R from soccer Drills
but they're good Drills..

Yes we have made some other videos that go into better detail of better form. kbandstraining.com/3-cone-drill/
even then thats not how they do it in the combine...maybe just dont call it the NFL combine 3 cone
Ur not gonna be able to skip over that cone the thing is over a foot tall
How tall is the guy in red shorts?
May be a good practice drill but this is no way to analyse how good a player is.
He is 5'10"

No way!! He can't be any taller than 5'8
