16 weeks on minimal variation (No New Patterns to be taught)

This 16 week program is designed with small to no variation, as you want as much mental energy to be used for sharpening the on-field training and game skills of a contact sport.

Day 1 per week, you will focus on sprints but this is short and sharp accelerations.

Day 2 per week, more of a strength focus over the full body

Day 3 per week, Mobility, Explosive, Activation and Mental Pump exercises to prepare you for Game Day tomorrow

Day 4 per week, is essential with Recovery Yoga and Hot/Cold Contrast (this is essential for next day to move the body and free yourself up

Idea for work is: Sprint/Speed/Accel/COD Session/Full Body Strength/Maintenance Session/Mobility/CNS/Pump Session/Recovery Session

Running Warm Up (The Hill)

For every workout, you must warm-up. It is critical for your performance in the workout, your overall movement after you leave the gym, and how quickly you recover between training sessions. A good warm-up will not only charge your body up, but also increase your overall core temperature, this will improve your muscle’s ability to contract better and harder.
