In this fourth and final full-length fitness session we cover all the bases - strength, cardio and speed and agility.
From warm-up to cool-down this plan explains every step of your training with detailed notes and images, enabling you to push your players hard to get them fit and raring for the approaching season.
Keep putting the hard work in with these two sessions to make sure your players are ready come match day!
PS. We're not going to drop the fitness though. Over the coming weeks, in addition to your regular sessions, you can look forward to a bite-size fitness session! At only half an hour long they're ideal for using with your players before you get to work on their stickwork.
