Zig-Zag Sled
A SLED ON A WHEEL:
There's not another sled like the Zig-Zag. It's a sled with a single wheel and brake mechanism. The Zig-Zag avoids and separates from its blocker. Because the sled has only one wheel, it will tip from side to side.
This is the key to the Zig-Zag sled. The player must fight this pressure with body balance and strength. It teaches the player to get his feet in the ground. Its feedback is immediate and effective.
If you have trouble with your athletes over-striding (off balance), this could be a valuable teaching tool. It's also a great conditioning sled as players can push the sled at different angles and with different resistance levels for endurance and strength.
This sled will kick your butt...

"We've been using your Zig-Zag sled almost every day. The offense we run requires us to use the "old-fashioned" shoulder/drive blocking and also requires us to stay, what we call, "velcroed" to the defenders. I have seen a big improvement in our ability to maintain contact with defenders since we have started using the Zig-Zag."
