Assisted Lateral Deceleration to Resisted Lateral Acceleration

With the resistance band around your hip and the anchor point to your left, move a few steps to your right to where you feel enough resistance from the band. In an athletic position with your hips, knees, and ankles bent, and your shoulders over your toes, let the band assist you in moving to your left for either one, two, or three steps (depending on the resistance and length of the band you are using), and then using the same amount of steps (or less to make the drill more intense) to stop yourself in the same balanced athletic position that you started. After you have come to a complete stop and found your balance, accelerate against the resistance of the band, away from the anchor point, back to where you started the drill. Once you have returned to the start position, turn around so that the anchor point is to your left and repeat the drill on your other side. Make sure your band is strong enough that it will not snap and that you only go as far as it will tolerate. To be safe, you can focus on just one step.
