Shoe Rack Ladder Drill

Footwork wins championships, so I brought my morning drills straight to the open shoe rack by the front door. Standing before a pair of giant white running sneakers, I treated the crisscrossed white laces like an agility ladder. Tucking my mini basketball securely under my right forearm, I pumped my knees and high-stepped right across the taut shoestring rungs. When my foot hooked the final loop, I caught my balance with a dramatic freeze, pointing one finger to the sky before hopping down onto the leather tongue like a true champion.
