These are great for developing side-to-side explosive power because the athlete is required to put as much force into the ground as possible to move the sled.

2. Reactive Skater Hops

This will help you develop more leg power when pushing to the side; however, we must get off the ground as quickly as possible.

3. Lateral X-Over Sled Sprints

This exercise requires more ground force production than a regular x-over sprint because of the added resistance.

4. Reactive Multi-Directional Cuts
