Off-season training for football: Single-leg lateral medicine ball toss. So we're going to work stabilization in the hip and also work mobility for the core right now by putting [PH] Jonesy on one leg here and he's going to have the medicine ball toss with me. So Jones are you ready? Okay. It's going to be a partner drill and what I'm looking for him to do here is try to stabilize himself on one leg the entire time. While we're doing this set, I would like to try to do from 10 to 15 reps of this, and each time he's working for coordination and balance as he's trying to perform the toss [DEMONSTRATION]. That's it, good. This is really good for the skill players out there. Anyone that is trying to catch the ball, avoid a tackle, or throw a ball. So as I'm tossing him the ball, I want him to try to reach, and I'm trying to slowly pull him off balance and let him fight for balance again which will then help him coordinate more and then that will translate over for the potential of coordinating better on the field. Okay. And that's the single-leg lateral medicine ball toss.
