Whip on Air
- Prescription
- 5 × whips / side · 45 s restabout 10 min
- Players
- 2 minimum
- Equipment
- Football, Cones (recommended)
The whip drill is performed with a partner who throws the ball: you plant your foot, you pivot, and the ball arrives just as you come out of the pivot. Ten repetitions, five on each side. The focus here is on the timing of the catch after the pivot, not the footwork.
Key points
- The ball arrives as you come out, not when you’re already facing the passer.
- You catch the ball while running, never while standing still.
- Five on one side, five on the other.
Common mistakes
- Stopping to wait for the ball after the reversal.
- Rushing the reversal because you’re already thinking about the catch.
