Save yourself a scare this Halloween and ensure your session runs smoothly. No chaos, no fright, just structure.
As the Lions tour approaches with their first tour game this Friday against Argentina, we look ahead at what the fans can expect to see from both sides as the tour in Australia approaches...
For the first few weeks of pre-season skills I would recommend that you do the fitness aspect of this session after your pitch time. This is because if you become physically fatigued before your skills session then you will be less capable of improving or learning the complex neuromuscular movements.
I would warm up as you have been in previous weeks, before then completing the 5 minutes of plyometric drills in order to get your players ready to move onto their stickwork. After you finish your hockey session move straight into the fitness session.
