When players get tired, their game becomes sloppy. Passes go astray and mistakes get made.
That's why this week we've got a pre-season football-fitness session to get your players' legs moving.
All the drills in this session have a footballing element built into them, working on dribbling, passing and shooting within a fitness framework. Not only will this plan get your players working hard on their fitness levels, it will also allow you to see how they perform when fatigue kicks in.
