“Don’t wish it were easier. Wish you were better.”
CONDITIONING WITH THE BALL
Place four markers approximately 15–20 yards apart.
1. Dribble the ball at speed to the opposite marker and stop it completely.
2. Sprint back to the starting marker without the ball.
3. Make a sharp change of direction and sprint back to the ball.
4. Dribble the ball back to the starting position.
Complete 4 repetitions continuously, rest for 60–90 seconds, and perform 2–3 sets.
Drill objective: This drill develops repeated sprint ability, acceleration, change of direction, fitness and ball control while fatigued. Keep the intensity high, stay low during each turn and maintain control of the ball at speed.
