Lateral quickness is about stopping fast and changing direction, not just speed. This drill uses two resistance bands: jump over, pause, jump back and hold. Do it explosively and resist the band during the pause to build real on-field performance.
I wish I knew this when I was a young athlete to get faster laterally. This is a quick, simple exercise. All you need is 2 bands. What people get mixed up about lateral quickness is it's not how fast you are, it's how fast can you stop your body and then change direction. So what you're going to do is jump over the band, pause, and then jump back and hold. The more explosive you can make this movement and the harder you can push and pause, the better you will be on the field.
