Five Minute Fitness Tip 2

Sprints - forward/backward/forward

This five minute fitness drill can be used during your training sessions for a quick break to help coaching points sink in, or as an incentive for a drinks break.
1. Place 3 cones in a straight line with 5-10 yards between each cone.
2. Players should sprint forwards from cone 1 to 2.
3. Then run backwards from cone 2 to 1.
4. Finally, sprint forwards from 1 to 3.
Look for a lower centre of gravity on change of direction, bending knees to keep balance.

Repeat 5 times. Rest for 60 seconds between repetitions.
