| What I need For Defensive End Training? |
|
I'm training to become a defensive end for my high school varsity team. I'm 6'2, 210lbs, not very quick laterally/ grab rim on a bball rim. I bench in the 190s and have pretty strong soccer legs. I'm not genetically gifted so please post some tips and advice for a workout routine. Cheers! |

Shotgun, axe and a dummy to kill many times over work with a trainer or coach. Work on your weight training, you will need to be able to bench more than that. You should be able to bench more than your body weight. Do squats and power cleans to build explosiveness. Strong soccer legs won't do much when trying to move a 275+lb lineman out of your way. Work on your agility and speed. You have to be able to shed blockers quickly and recognize where the ball is to make the tackle. Run bleachers to increase endurance and stamina. Meet with your DLine coach and have him set up a work out routine for you. in high school you still see alot of option and veer type offense so learn to read and react to the quarterback. you know your weakness so focus on weight room to improve strength and constantly work on short lateral burst while on the field or on the courts. as you grow you will add bulk so focus on fundamentals and listen to your coaches they know what they expect from you. |
