These [tag]football spirit drills[/tag] could be labeled an enthusiasm drill as much as a good pushing, pass blocking mental toughness drill. Best done before [tag]football practice[/tag] to fire up the troops. I call it the Motivator!
1. Circle your team. If you have more than thirty make two circles.
2. In the center of the circle there are 3 flat cones or anything that make up a target.
3. Two players stand about 3 yards from the target.
4. One player with the [tag]football[/tag] tries to get in the target and the other tries to prevent him. The defender pushes, punches, and screens the ball carrier all the while everyone is screaming, growling, hooting and hollering. The ball carrier tries by hook or crook to get the ball in the target.
5 Everyone gets a turn and the team, through cheering, decides who the finalist are.
We have found this [tag]football drill[/tag] convinces our players to be tenacious and resourceful.
It need not be pretty. With toughness and conviction we can do it. The hooting and hollering bring out the fake till you make it enthusiasm. That is what we find carries over to practice.
