Players start on the baseline and run one at a time. The next player starts once the player in front of them has run around the first cone.
Players sprint around the outside of the 18 yard box and then run around the cone near the D.
Players then slow down to a 50% jog and use quick feet to place both feet in each rung of the ladder.
After running through the ladder players run around the next cone and slalom in and out of the cones/poles, facing forward at all times and using quick shuffle feet.
Finally players jog back around the cones back to the start point.
Players should push themselves here and work hard throughout.
Encourage them to focus on the use of their arms when sprinting and also using quick feet in the ladder section of the course.
Recovery time is when players are jogging back to the start cone (no standing still - players will be given chance to get their breath back between activities).

Roughly a fifth of Premier League goals come from set pieces, and the gap between teams who plan their routines and teams who do not has never been wider.

The next frontier in football coaching is not physical, it is mental. Cognitive load training - the deliberate use of perception, decision-making and dual-task demands inside football drills - is reshaping how the best academies develop players. Here is what it means and how to use it.
If the last decade taught us about pressing, this one is teaching us about what stands behind it. Rest defence is the shape your team holds while attacking, and it is the difference between dominating a game and getting picked off on the counter.
