Building a Lineman 2.0: Feet on the Ground

The 3 main Building Blocks to O-Line Success are 1) Playing in a Football Position 2) Eye Discipline & 3) Understanding Leverage. As we kick off 2022 I will teach how to build a Lineman from the ground up.
A Football Position is achieved by playing with you feet on the ground, a wide stance for balance & stability, and playing with low hips and knee bend to strike with a rising blow. The foundation of everything is an Offensive Lineman developing a relationship with his feet and the ground.
In this video Nolan Clausen, movement specialist at Midwest Movement Elkhorn, helps us understand how our feet are the source of power for the entire body. He explains that curling your big toe activates the glute muscles and brain for action!
As we progress with developing Linemen, we will incorporate drills that are performed without shoes so linemen can feel how their feet are vital to their blocking success.
