ESPN tells a great story about a young Tom Brady practicing the Dot Drill in his family’s garage so that he can improve himself so that he can play college football. The drill worked and he got into Michigan.

In a 3-by-2-foot box, with five dots arranged as you would find them on dice, he works through five simple drills: both feet forward then back, around the perimeter, the left foot first and then the right in a figure-eight pattern, a two-footed bunny hop all the way around, always facing forward and, finally, the bunny hop with a 180-degree hopscotch twist to bring it home.

Intrigued, I went looking for a description of the dot drill. While I definitely won’t be the next Tom Brady, it should help in my endeavor to get into better shape.
