Loads of drills on Youtube which have obviously are really easy to follow as they are videos

Throwing up is the only way you know they have gave 110%. When i saw it done they looked as if they were going to chuck and one did.

The better way to do that exercise is to split them into 4 and make a rule that they cannot be anymore than 10 metres apart as a group, eg the front man of group a and the back man of group a have to be 10 metres or less from each other.

That way you are promoting team work at the same time as no one player can go off on his own, they have to encourage each other to stay together as a pack and take over the group in front as a team.

Problem with that is what about if group B is faster than group A? They would have to slow down? The thing with the original idea is that they can run at there fastest pace becuase not everyone one runs the same pace.

A technique we experimented with to the latter end of this summer season was mixing up the fitness and technique work. Before we might have done fitness, skills, gameplan, or skills, gameplan, fitness, of 30 minutes or so each. What we started to do was mix those together: So we might do 5 minutes of a technique exercise, followed by a three minute burst of fitness work (all our fitness work was typically based on interval sprints and hitting something, whether a shield or the ground, or a bag) and then back to the technique work. These would be in blocks of around 20 minutes, before a water break and then a change of the two drills. This gets the players used to having to execute a skill when fatigued.

Ther whole point of the drill is to catch the team in front and get yourself out of the game for a rest whilst the othjer three carry on.

You cant have one of your fastest running off and catching them in front, you have to work as a group to stcik in a pack and catch the group in front, who are in turn trying to avoid you catching them but also catch the group in front of them whilst staying close together.
