This video shows some athletes from the Waukee location using bands, performing footwork drills, and working at reaction time exercises. These are all drills done to allow the athlete to recover from the treadmill or plyo workout while still building valuable skills. Great work guys and keep making the most of your workouts. Working out might not always be fun but winning is!
