A Quick Change of Direction

Condition your body to be able to juke and run by practicing a quick change of direction. Find an open field or grassy area, wear your cleats, and designate a starting and stopping line about 50 meters long. Add another line (even a rolled up t shirt works) about 5 meters from your start/stop points as well. Sprint your way through from start to finish and then quickly try and stop yourself from going past the second line, turn around and do the same thing toward the other two marks. Add some side shuffles in with the same change of direction tactic after a forward sprint to practice lateral movement as well.
