Football Training Equipment for Wide Receivers: 4 Considerations
Wideout Gloves
Pick the gloves that help you catch better. Nothing makes you look cooler than scoring a touchdown. Style doesn’t mean color or brand. Go to a sporting goods store and try out a few pairs before making any decisions.
WR Cleats
It’s easy to equate weight with worth because it’s one of the only ways to quantify shoes (other than price – another trap). Read reviews online or try cleats on at a sporting goods store before making a decision.
Shoulder Pads
Here’s where lightweight really gets credit. Wide Receivers on cornerbacks is speed on speed. Still, recommend reading reviews online before deciding to buy the lightest pads you can find.
Training Equipment
Check out the Colt Football Blocking pad. Your opponents are not stationary and they have freakin’ arms. Wiping away a cornerback’s arm requires violent hand speed. You’re not going to want to do that every day in practice, and muscle memory doesn’t train at half speed.
