Plyometric Push-Up
Why This Exercise
A staple in athletic performance programs for developing explosive upper-body power. For a football player, this fast-twitch muscle recruitment translates directly to winning physical shoulder-to-shoulder duels, aggressively fending off opponents, and generating quick ground reactions when you need to bounce back up to your feet.
Coaching Cues
- If you cannot clap your hands in the air, simply aim to get your hands off the ground.
- Focus on pushing yourself as high off the ground as possible.
- The priority is explosive power, not the number of repetitions.
