Watch as Coach JJ Riese explains and shows video of these silly walks, foot and ankle cool down drills. The focus is to strengthen the feet and ankles and to prevent shin splints. Athletes will practice this 2 to 3 times per week throughout the entire season. Each drill is 25 meters in length and the athletes must be in their socks or barefooted. The cool down positions are toes in, toes out, arches, outsides, forward on the heels, and balls of the feet going backwards.
