One of the most overlooked aspects of training Football\nPlayers is Core Strength. This aspect of training cannot be overlooked as it is\nso important to their performance on the field. Football is a sport that is\nplayed in a 4 directions, vertical, lateral, reverse and forward. Having a\nstrong core with help get you get from point A to point B as fast and as strong\nas possible. I will briefly discuss two reasons why I think core strength is so\nimportant.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Anti- Rotational Force<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

This is a big one, especially in the trenches in football.\nOn the line of scrimmage, one of the main goals to stay square to your target,\nwhatever your target may be. For example to get to the Quarterback, the primary\ngoal for the defensive lineman is to beat the offensive lineman anyway\npossible. The offensive must stay square to the LOS because he does not know\n100% where the QB is. Staying square to the LOS is hard to due when pressure\nform the DL can come at man different angles toward the QB. You can see over\nand over again OL with weak core get beat via a simple rip-bull, because they\ncannot fight themselves square!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Rotational Force<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

This one is super easy, Quarterback Play! There is an old adage you throw the football with your shoulder and arm, but you DRIVE the football with your core and legs. Being able to disassociate the hips and core and force the hips into the throw takes a strong core, without a strong core you won\u2019t be able to zip the football. Playing QB is a unique position, you have to make very unique dynamic movements in a very small area (the pocket) so rotational force is the most bang for the buck, allowing the QB to generate force in a small area! Rotational Force can be seen in all the other positions but QB is the most glaring!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
