Diagonal Square Multi-Directional Agility Drill

Using a square with a central cone, start at an outside corner, sprint diagonally into the center cone, cut at an acute angle outward to a corner cone, sprint back to center, and continue around the perimeter corners before finishing; alternate rotational directions between reps. Final drill finishes at 530s (08:50); remaining 530s to 643s (10:43) consists of session summary, football application advice, training structure recommendations, and outro.

Key points

  • Decelerate sharply with rapid stutter steps into the acute angle around the center cone
  • Push forcefully off the outside edge of the plant foot on each diagonal cut
  • Keep the upper body angled forward to re-accelerate out of sharp turns
  • Alternate travel sequence (clockwise and counter-clockwise) across repetitions

Common mistakes

Over-striding when approaching acute cuts, resulting in loss of footing or blown turning angles.
