Working on anaerobic endurance pays off in sprints, jumps and contested balls during an actual game. Set out five cones on the yard lines of the 10, 20, 30, 40 and 50, or 10 yards apart in a straight line. Start at cone 1, jog to cone 4 and sprint to cone 5. Turn around and jog to cone 3 and spring to cone 1. Jog to cone 2 and sprint to cone 5. Turn immediately and sprint to cone 1. After resting for a minute, repeat three to five times. After the first set, complete two to three more sets.
