Most trainers place most bearing on strength, agility, power, and quickness. While all of these athletic qualities are imperative to superior athletic development, there are many athletic persona which many athletes display deficiency in, due to lack of related training.One of these important athletic qualities is reaction. Many people don’t realize its significance, but it is utilized heavily in every sport. In football, an athlete must blast out of his stance at the motion of his opponent. A basketball player must react quickly to the movements of his opponent’s feet, while in complete control of the ball. Baseball players must react to a base runner’s sudden movements, able to control his running about the bases. Basically, every sport requires a strong sense of reaction skills. Today, we will learn some reaction drills which will help strengthen this sense via http://www.brianmac.co.uk/reaction.htm

These drills help you to learn to respond to both sound and movements. In different sports, athletes are required to move on a sound, such as a pistol for a sprinter. Others are required to move off of movement, such as a nose tackle awaiting the snap. These simple drills can aid you in developing your reaction muscles.

Another exercise I used to do back in football days involved using a tennis ball. I would get down in my stance as a partner holds a tennis ball. He could make sounds or movements randomly, as long as he did not move the ball. It helped me to develop focus onto a movement, which helped me greatly as a blitzing linebacker
