Standing Cable Hip Flexion

The hidden secret behind a faster sprint and a harder shot. An often-overlooked detail, but a frequent staple in the programs of the fastest players in the world. A strong hip flexor is crucial for elite sprint mechanics; it allows you to aggressively drive your knee forward in every stride, directly improving your acceleration and ability to repeat max-effort sprints.

• Keep your pelvis level and your torso completely still.
• Pull the knee up with control; the movement should come from the hip, not by swinging or leaning backward.
• Resist the weight on the way down and maintain tension in the muscle throughout.
