INSIGHT

Cones Fail to Train Real Agility

  • Traditional agility drills using cones and mannequins lack relevant information athletes face in real games.
  • These drills often don't represent the real sport context, limiting skill transfer to actual performance.
ADVICE

Use Bodies, Not Cones

  • Replace cones and static pads with moving bodies to simulate actual game scenarios.
  • This forces athletes to perceive and react to real opponent movements, enhancing skill relevance.
ADVICE

Scale Training Representativeness

  • Manipulate training constraints to increase representativeness even with limitations like speed or equipment.
  • Vary drills by adjusting space, timing, or pitch types to mimic game variability and decision-making.
