Most running backs in youth football dream of running 80 yards down the sideline for the winning touchdown, the crowd cheering and they are the hero. That is a great story but very few running backs actually get that chance. When youth football players get a chance to run their run usually consist of 5 or 10 or 15 yard bursts in several different directions.

Dave Cisar, who is a successful youth coach, http://www.winningyouthfootball.com/wp-blog/?p=1955 does drills that change direction all the time by learning how to cut. In order for a player to be successful he must “ the player must lower his center of gravity.” By dropping your hips to keep the speed you are currently going.

All running backs, like any tackler musst learn to drop their hips and lower their center of gravity to make the most precision cuts without losing their speed.
