Sit-Up Catches

- Equipment
- Football
Lying on your back, sit up and catch at the top of the movement. Your abs are burning at the exact moment of the catch, which reproduces what contact does: catching while your body is already under strain.
Key points
- The catch should be made at the top of the movement, never on the way down.
- Keep your hands out in front of you; don’t hold them against your chest waiting for the ball.
- Three sets of twenty-five seconds.
Common mistakes
- Using a leg swing to come up.
- Slowing the pace when it burns, which removes the very point of the drill.
