OFF-SEASON CONDI TI ONI NG PROGRAM
2010
 
One  of  the  major  factors  for  the  success  of  our  Football  Program  over  the  past  decade  
has  been  our  Conditioning  Program.    At  Albion  College  we  emphasize  a  total  
conditioning  program,  individualized  and  tailored  to  each  athlete.    This  means  that  all  
areas  of  conditioning  are  given  special  consideration;;  no  area  is  neglected.    Each  of  
these  areas  will  be  addressed  in  this  Conditioning  Booklet.  
 
Your  performance  during  the  2010  Football  Season  will  be  greatly  affected  by  your  own  
personal  level  of  conditioning.    The  2010  Off-­Season  Conditioning  Program  is  designed  
to  maximize  your  strength,  speed  endurance,  explosive  power,  speed,  reaction  time,  
mental  toughness,  flexibility,  and  size.    It  will  also  develop  your  confidence  and  your  
overall  potential  as  a  player,  as  well  as  minimize  injuries.    Follow  the  Program  exactly  as  
it  is  outlined,  and  your  success  will  be  unlimited.

your  chances.    In  the  fourth  quarter  with  the  game  on  the  line,  you  need  the  physical  
advantage.    Put  yourself  and  your  team  in  the  best  possible  position  to  win.    Work  hard  
and  smart  by  following  this  program.  
 
Many  factors  make  up  a  good  football  player.    Some  players  are  born  with  the  natural  
talent  to  play  football,  while  others  have  to  work  harder  to  make  up  for  a  lack  of  ability.    
But  regardless  of  your  level  of  talent,  you  can  become  a  better  player.    There  are  no  
shortcuts  to  becoming  the  best  player  you  can  be,  however;;  it  takes  a  lot  of  hard  work  
and  dedication.  
 
Our  goal  is  to  improve  our  players  in  the  key  areas  of  speed,  agility,  power,  and  
endurance.      
    Speed.    Speed  is  the  ability  to  cover  a  certain  distance  from  point  A  to  
point  B  in  the  shortest  time  possible.    Acceleration  is  a  key  component  of  
speed.  
 
    Agility.    Agility  is  the  ability  to  stop,  start,  and  change  directions  quickly  
while  maintaining  good  body  control.  
 
    Power3RZHUUHIHUVWRDQDWKOHWH¶VDELOLW\WRJHQHUDWHWKHJUHDWHVW
combination  of  strength  and  speed  while  executing  a  skill.  
 
    Endurance.    Endurance  as  related  to  football  is  the  ability  to  sustain  
maximum  speed,  agility,  and  power  on  each  play  for  an  entire  game.

THE  SUMMER  MANUAL  OVERVIEW  
 
 
This  manual  was  designed  with  the  intent  of  providing  a  comprehensive,  efficient,  productive,  
and  safe  approach  to  your  physical  preparation  as  a  BRITON  FOOTBALL  PLAYER.  
 
The  FLEXIBILITY  TRAINING  section  of  this  manual  describes  the  Dynamic  Warm-­up  routine  
that  should  be  performed  before  every  workout.    It  also  covers  the  Stretching  Routine  that  
should  be  performed  after  every  workout.    Read  the  section  completely  before  beginning  your  
Summer  Program.  
 
The  LIFTING  TECHNIQUES  section  of  this  manual  presents  an  in-­depth  description  of  our  
program  here  at  Albion  College.    It  is  imperative  that  you  read  the  entire  section  and  understand  
the  proper  implementation  of  the  program  before  you  begin  training.    Call  us  if  any  aspect  of  
the  program  confuses  you.    Your  Program  will  start  on  Monday,  May  17th.  
         
 
The  RUNNING  PROGRAM  section  of  this  manual  contains  a  description  of  all  activities  used  to  
get  you  in  condition  to  meet  the  demands  of  a  football  game.    Sprints,  Speed  Drills,  Skill  
Work  and  Agilities  are  all  part  of  the  Running  Program.    Your  Summer  Manual  contains  a  
calendar  that  identifies  when  to  perform  each  activity  throughout  the  summer.  All  twelve  weeks  
of  your  Running  Program  are  listed  on  the  Summer  Manual  Calendar.    Your  Sprints,  Speed  Drills,  
Skill  Work  and  Agilities  are  outlined  in  the  Summer  Manual  in  separate  sections  and  listed  on  the  
days  you  are  to  perform  them  on  the  Summer  Manual  Calendar.  You  should  read  through  these  
sections  before  you  begin  training.  
 
 
Conditioning  is  often  confused  with  training.    However,  training  is  the  entire  process  of  improving  
performance,  and  it  has  many  components.    Conditioning  on  the  other  hand,  is  concerned  with

STRENGTH PROGRAM
TRAIN LIKE A CHAMPION!

THINGS TO KEEP IN MIND WHEN TRAINING:

1. Our Summer program will be a total body workout 3 days per week.
You will work the upper body and lower body on each day that you
lift.

2. All workouts should be pursued with a high level of INTENSITY.

3. Perform each exercise with perfect form.

4. 'RQ¶WVDFULILFHIRUPWRLQFUHDVHZHLJKW2QO\OLIWWKHDPRXQW\RXFDQ
handle and still execute the movement with perfect form.

5. Go to failure (do as many reps as you can with good form) on the
last set of each exercise. If you can do more than the prescribed
reps, add weight the next time you perform that exercise.

6. Only do the exercises listed in the program. Contact Coach Rundle


before making any adjustments.
Push Press
PROCEDURE:

1. Grab a barbell with a shoulder-width, overhand grip.

2. Stand holding the barbell at shoulder level, your feet shoulder-width apart.

3. Dip your knees slightly [A] and push up with your legs as you press the bar over your head [B].

4. Then lower the bar to the starting position.


SQUAT
Purpose: To develop the quadriceps, thigh adductors, gluteus maximus, and hamstrings. When done correctly, full squats build up
the muscles, ligaments, and tendons surrounding the knee. Keeping the torso erect isometrically contracts the spinal erectors, also
developing them to a large degree.

Start Position: With the bar chest high on the racks, position hands slightly wider than shoulders width. Step under the bar, keeping
the feet parallel, knees slightly bent, and hips vertically aligned with your shoulders. Place bar comfortably across the top of the
shoulders at the base of the neck or one inch below the top of the shoulders across the traps. Pull your shoulder blades together tightly
and lift the bar out of the rack by extending the knees. Step backward, using as few steps as possible, with feet parallel. Point toes out
somewhat and keep heels slightly wider than the hips.

Procedure:

1. Focus your eyes on the wall with head slightly up; take a deep breath and hold it.
2. In a slow and controlled motion, lower the bar by bending your hips and knees and keeping your knees pointed out in
alignment with the feet.
3. The instant your thighs are parallel to the floor, explode up from the bottom.
4. .HHS\RXUEDFNIODWZHLJKWRQ\RXUKHHOVDQGVKRXOGHUEODGHVGUDZQWRJHWKHU'RQ¶WWKURZ\RXUKHDGEDFN
5. Fully extend your knees and hips and exhale as you near the completion of the lift.

Key Points:

1. 'RQ¶WWU\WRERXQFHRXWRIWKHERWWRPRIWKLVOLIW,I\RXWU\WRUHFRYHUWRDQXSULJKWSRVLWLRQDIWHUERXQFLQJ\RXZLOO
raise your hips too quickly, causing your back to round out and take the stress of the lift. It is imperative to descend
slowly and under control.
2. Keep your shoulder blades together. If they relax, your lower back will round out. The closer together you place your
hands on the bar, the tighter you can pull your shoulder blades.
3. Picking a spot on the wall in front of you to focus on helps keep your body stable.
4. Squat inside the rack, or use two to three spotters.
FRONT SQUAT
Purpose: To develop the quadriceps, thigh adductors, gluteus maximus, and hamstrings. When done correctly, full squats build the
muscles, ligaments, and tendons surrounding the knee. This exercise is great for athletes who have problems keeping erect during
back squats. If an erect position is not maintained during this lift, the bar will tumble forward.

Start Position: Place the bar chest high on the racks. Step under the bar and position feet parallel with knees slightly bent. Place the
bar comfortably on the front of your shoulders in one of the two positions:
Clean Style: Place hands on the bar slightly wider than shoulder width and rotate elbows up so they are in front of the
bar.
Cross-arm Style: Cross arms in front of shoulders and place hands on top of bar with elbows high.
Align hips vertically with shoulders and lift bar out of rack by extending the knees. Step backward using as few steps as possible.
Position feet so they are parallel, toes pointed out slightly, and heels slightly wider than the hips.

Procedure:

1. Focus your eyes on the wall with head slightly up; take a deep breath and hold it.
2. In a slow and controlled motion, lower the bar by bending your hips and knees and keeping your knees pointed out in
alignment with the feet.
3. The instant your thighs are parallel to the floor, explode up from the bottom.
4. .HHS\RXUEDFNIODWZHLJKWRQ\RXUKHHOVDQGVKRXOGHUEODGHVGUDZQWRJHWKHU'RQ¶WWKURZ\RXUKHDGEDFN
5. Fully extend your knees and hips and exhale as you near the completion of the lift.

Key Points:

1. 'RQ¶WWU\WRERXQFHRXWRIWKHERWWRPRIWKLVOLIW,I\RXWU\WRUHFRYHUWRDQXSULJKWSRVLWLRQDIWHUERXQFLQJ\RXZLOO
raise your hips too quickly, causing your back to round out and take the stress of the lift. It is imperative to descend
slowly and under control.
2. Picking a spot on the wall in front of you to focus on helps keep your body stable.
3. Squat inside the rack, or use two to three spotters.
DEADLI FT
1. Stand in front of a barbell with your shins close to the bar.

2. Feet shoulder width apart or closer.

3. Grab the bar with your hands outside your legs, a bit wider then shoulder width.

4. Keeping your arms straight, bend your legs and flatten your back.

5. Position yourself so it is like you are doing a squat with the barbell at arms length in front of you.

6. Pull the barbell off the floor by straightening your legs and torso until your body is completely erect. Push your feet through
the floor. Lead with your head.

7. Pull your shoulders back.

8. Then lower the bar back to the floor.

Another grip tip that helps the deadlift tremendously is using a mixed or alternate grip when
lifting heavy weights. This is simply holding the barbell with one hand facing forwards and the
other hand facing backwards. The advantage of this grip is that as the bar is rolling out of one
hand, it is also rolling into the other hand. Thus allowing you to hold onto heavier weights then
you could with a regular overhand grip. Switch back and forth with the hand positions for each set
to ensure equal development over the long term.
GLUTE/HAM RAI SES

This exercise is great for working the spinal erectors, buttock, and hamstrings.

Stand in the middle of the hyperextension station. Facing toward the large flat pad, lean forward until your
upper thighs are placed on the pad. With your legs straight place your feet under the smaller pad.

When in position, lower your upper body at the waist until it is perpendicular to the floor. Then lift your upper
body back to the starting position. At the top of the movement hold this position for a second to maximize the
peak contraction.

Tip - If you want to add resistance to the exercise you can hold a weight plate to your chest.
SEATED DUMBBELL MILITARY
This exercise works the entire deltoid area and the triceps. Secondary stress is placed on the upper
chest and upper back muscles.

Sit on an upright bench. Grab 2 dumbbells and pull them to your shoulders. The palms of your hands
should be facing forwards during the exercise. Keep your feet shoulder width apart.

Keeping your elbows directly under the dumbbells press them upwards until they are at arms length
above your head. Lower the dumbbells back to the starting position. Repeat.
SEAT ED ROW
Purpose: To develop the muscles of the upper back.

Start Position: Grasp the handle with overhand grip and hands 6 to 12 inches apart. Extend arms and sit with feet shoulder-width
apart and knees slightly flexed. Lean the torso forward slightly, keeping the back flat.

Procedure:

1. Pull the bar to the lower chest.


2. 6ORZO\UHWXUQEDUWRDUP¶VOHQJWKDQGUHSHDW

Key Points:

1. Do this exercise slowly and smoothly. Do not lean forward or backward during the movement.
2. When pulling the handle to the chest, squeeze your shoulder blades together. When returning the handle feel the stretch
in the back and shoulders. Visualize the muscles of the back stretching and squeezing during the movement.
CLOSE GRI P LAT PULL

(A) Grab a long bar with a wide overhand grip and sit on the seat with your knees placed under the
support.

(B) Pull the bar down under control until it touches the top of your chest. Make sure that the upper
back does the work and your not swaying back to involve your lower back. Then let the weight go
back up, extend the arms again, and really feel your lats get a full stretch
STIFF-LEGGED DEAD LIFT

Purpose: To strengthen and develop the hamstrings and lower back. A much lighter weight is used than in the dead lift.

Start Position: This exercise can be done with a bar or a Hammer dead lift machine. Place feet hip-width apart. Bend knees with the
lower leg touching the bar. Grasp the bar using an overhand grip with arms extended and hands shoulder-width apart. Stand upright
with the bar by extending the legs and hips, and let the bar rest on the thighs. Fill chest with air and hold high. Bend the knees
slightly.

Procedure:

1. In a slow and controlled motion, lower the bar to a point just below the knees by bending at the hips. Do not touch the
ground.
2. Reverse directions and pull bar back to starting position.

Key Points:

1. Keep the shoulder blades pulled together and lower back slightly arched as the bar is slowly and smoothly lowered.
2. Feel the stretch in the hamstrings as the bar is lowered. If the bar touches the ground, the tension will be taken off the
hamstrings.
L EG CURL
Purpose: To isolate and develop the hamstrings.

Start Position: Lie face down on the leg curl machine bench with your knees slightly off the edge. Hook ankles under the roller pad
and align knee joints with axis of machine.

Procedure:

1. Raise your lower legs as far as possible toward the hips.


2. Lower the weight slowly to the starting position.
BENCH PRESS
Purpose: To develop the pectoral muscles, anterior deltoids, and triceps.

Start Position: Lie face up on a bench; make sure feet are flat on the ground and back is slightly arched. Pull your shoulders blades
inward as you push your chest upward. Grip the bar slightly wider than shoulder-width and position yourself so the bar lines up with
the top of your head. Take the bar from the rack with the aid of a spotter and position the bar over your chest.

Procedure:

1. Take a deep breath, hold your chest high, and lower the bar to your chest in a slow, controlled movement.
2. Allow the bar to just touch the chest at about nipple level.
3. Drive the bar explosively off the chest so that the movement of the bar is up slightly.
4. ([KDOHDV\RXORFNWKHEDURXWWRIXOODUP¶VOHQJWK

Key Points:

1. Grip the bar so that when it touches the chest the elbow joint is at approximately a 90-GHJUHHDQJOH$ZLGHUJULSGRHVQ¶W
develop the chest and arm muscles as used in football, which is played with the arms in close to the midline of the body.
2. The spotter and lifter must work in a coordinated effort when guiding the bar into a lifting position and getting it racked.
The spotter should have his hands under the bar and be alert.
3. It is a good idea to wrap the thumbs around the bar. We have witnessed several lifters lose the bar and drop it on their
chests because of an improper grip.
I NCL I NE PRESS
Purpose: To develop the upper pectoral muscles, the anterior deltoids, and triceps.

Start Position: Place feet flat on the ground and slightly arch the back as you sit on the bench. Pull your shoulder blades inward as
you push the chest upward, and grip the bar slightly wider than shoulder-width. (Be sure to wrap thumbs around the bar.) Position
yourself so the bar lines up with the top of your head. Take the bar from the rack with the aid of a spotter and position the bar over
chest.

Procedure:

1. Take a deep breath and hold chest high as you lower the bar in a slow, controlled motion.
2. Allow the bar to just touch the upper chest at the base of the neck before driving it explosively off the chest. The
movement of the bar should be up and slightly back.
3. ([KDOHDV\RXORFNWKHEDURXWWRIXOODUP¶VOHQJWK

Key Points:

1. Grip the bar so that when it touches the chest the elbow joint is approximately at a 90-degree angle. A wLGHUJULSGRHVQ¶W
develop the chest and arm muscles as used in football, which is played with the arms in close to the midline of the body.
2. The spotter and lifter must work in a coordinated effort when guiding the bar into a lifting position and getting it racked.
The spotter should have his hands under the bar and be alert.
3. It is a good idea to wrap the thumbs around the bar.
CLOSE GRI P BENCH PRESS

This exercise is a big basic compound movement that heavily works the triceps as well as the chest and
shoulders.

Lie down on the flat bench press. Place your feet flat on the floor on each side of the bench. Grab the bar with
a grip no wider then the width of your torso, generally for most guys this will be with the index fingers on
the smooth part of a standard Olympic barbell. Straighten your arms to lift the barbell off the rack. Position the
bar so it is at arms length over your chest.

Lower the barbell until it touches your lower chest / upper abs, then press the bar back up until it is locked out at
the starting position. As you lower the bar keep your elbows tucked in close to the sides of your body. Do
not let your upper arms go straight out to the sides as this will place excess strain on the shoulder joints.
ST ANDI NG BARBEL L CURL
Purpose: To develop the biceps.

Start Position: Grip a barbell with an underhand grip slightly wider than shoulder-width and extend arms. Position feet shoulder-
width apart.

Procedure:

1. Pull the bar slowly to the shoulders by bending at the elbows.


2. Lower bar in a controlled manner to the start position.
3. Keep elbows positioned at the sides throughout the movement.
L Y I NG T RI CEPS EX T ENSI ON
Purpose: To develop the triceps.

Start Position: Lie on your back on a bench and use an overhand grip with hands four to six inches apart. Lift the bar and hold at
DUP¶VOHQJWK

Procedure:

1. Lower the bar, under control, to the forehead by flexing at the elbows.
2. Raise the bar by extending the arms. Keep your elbows in the same position throughout the movement by keeping upper
arm perpendicular to ground, with elbows pointing to ceiling.
ONE ARM DUM BBELL ROW

Put one knee up on the end of a flat bench then place the hand of the
same side on the bench.

Your other leg will be on the ground (knee slightly bent), not directly
beside the bench but about a foot out to the side.

This completes the triangular base of support.

 
Grasp a dumbell in the other hand. Stretch your shoulder down and forward
to get a complete stretch then pull the dumbell back and up towards your
waist/lower abdomen in an arc, not a straight up and down movement.

The dumbell will come up the outside of your thigh when you are using
lighter weight.

When you start using heavier weight, the dumbell should come up the
inside of your thigh. This is contrary to what you may see elsewhere but it is
a more comfortable and healthier position for your lower back when using
heavier weight as the resistance is within the base of support rather than
outside it. This means less torque on the lower back.

Your upper body should be parallel to the ground.

It is also very important that your lower back be arched throughout the movement to maximally activate the lats.
This arch also helps to protect your lower back from injury. Remember, the arch is the strongest architectural
structure.

Bring the elbow back and up as far as you can go.

The range of motion will depend on the amount of weight being used, though try to keep the range as large as
possible even when using heavy weight.

Lower slowly, down and forward, rotating the torso in that direction to get a fuller stretch.
NECK MACHINE (FORWARD AND BACKWARD)

Purpose: To strengthen the neck muscles.

Start Position: Stand or sit, depending on machine you use, so that head is in alignment with pads. Place hands on thighs or grip
handles.

Procedure:

1. Flex your head backward as far as you can.


2. Lower the weight until the weights just barely touch.
3. Repeat the movement slowly and smoothly.
4. Do both backward and forward.
WEI GHTED CRUNCHES WI TH A TOE TOUCH
PURPOSE: To develop strength in abdominal muscles.

STARTI NG POSI TI ON:    

Lie  on  your  back  with  your  feet  off  the  floor  and  your  legs  pointed  straight  in  the  air.  Keep  your  arms  straight  
while  holding  the  medicine  ball  (6-­12  pound  medicine  ball).    

PROCEDURE:  

 Exhale  as  you  lift  your  shoulder  blades  off  the  floor  attempting  to  touch  your  toes  with  the  medicine  ball.  Hold  
at  the  top  for  1  second,  and  slowly  lower  to  the  starting  position.    

KEY  POINTS:

your  legs  straight.    
 
Your  neck  muscles  will  also  be  challenged  during  this  exercise.  If  you  cannot  complete  the  entire  set  at  once,  
perform  5  reps  or  so  and  then  rest  before  completing  the  rest  of  the  set.    

 
RUSSI AN T W I ST W I T H W EI GH T
Purpose: To develop and strengthen the rotary torso muscles of the trunk.

Start Position:

Begin  sitting  on  the  floor  with  your  knees  bent  and  your  feet  flat  on  the  floor.  Hold  the  medicine  ball  (6-­12  
pound  ball)  and  extend  your  arms  out  in  front  of  you,  and  recline  back  so  that  your  body  is  angled  about  45  
degrees.

Procedure:

Keeping  your  lower  body  still,  twist  your  body  to  the  right  and  then  to  the  left.  

Key Points:

The  more  you  lean  back,  the  more  challenging  this  exercise  becomes.    
 
Use  an  angle  that  is  comfortable,  yet  still  gives  your  abdominal  muscles  a  challenge.    

To  make  this  exercise  more  challenging  you  can  lift  your  feet  about  1-­2  inches  off  the  floor  and  keep  your  feet  
in  the  air  during  the  entire  set.

weight to pull upward on the shoulders and upper back.

Procedure:

1. Pull the bar down to the base of the neck.


2. In a controlled motion, return the bar to the starting position and repeat.

Key Points:

cambered or V bar.
Grip the bar with a palms-down, less than
shoulder width grip.
Start with the bar at about chin level and your
upper arms angled slightly up.
Begin the movement by bringing your elbows
down in line with your body. This involves the long
head of the triceps.
When your elbows are pointing down, continue
the movement by pushing down and around in a
wide arc

Keep your elbows pinned tightly in to your sides and your wrists straight. Do not let your wrists bend back.
Squeeze hard.
Let the bar up. Let up your upper arms angle up again until the bar is at chin level. Repeat.

FLEXI BI LI TY TRAI NI NG
FLEXI BI LI TY PROGRAM
The following flexibility program has been designed to include exercises
that completely stretch all major muscle groups of the body. Engaging in
the following Dynamic Warm-up and Partner Stretching exercises will
increase range-of-motion, joint flexibility, and speed, as well as minimize
injuries.

Performing the Dynamic Warm-up routine before every workout and


performing the Static Stretching routine for a minimum of 10 minutes
daily after every workout cannot be over-emphasized.

When performing the Static Stretching routine, never jerk or bounce to a


stretch position as this could result in injury. These stretching exercise
should be performed slowly as you gradually move to a maximum stretch
position, i.e., the point at which you begin to feel the slightest amount of
tightness or discomfort. The stretch should be held for a period of 10 - 30
seconds. 7KHJRDOLVWRJUDGXDOO\LQFUHDVHWKHDWKOHWH¶VUDQJHRIPRWLRQ
each day.
DY NAM I C W ARM -UP ROUT I NE
It is important that you always warm-up your muscles, ligaments, and tendons by doing all the following Dynamic Warm-up drills (8
to 10 minutes of moderate exercise) before beginning your workout routine. These drills not only warm-up the body for the workout,
but also help with active flexibility of the hip and leg area. These drills, if done properly, also develop speed mechanics. Do these
warm-up drills every day, first thing, before the workout.

Before you start the dynamic stretches, do a three-to-five minute total body warm-up consisting of jogging, rope jumping, or some
other form of large muscle group, total movement. The warm-up raises the body temperature, increases blood flow to the muscles,
and lubricates the joints. Always remember, you warm-XSWRVWUHWFK\RXGRQ¶WVWUHWFKWRZDUP-up. If executed properly, the dynamic
stretch series will develop not only flexibility but also balance, coordination, and stabilization strength.

The following pages describe the exercises involved in the Dynamic Warm-up routine. Read the descriptions closely so that you can
perform each movement properly.

Static stretching follows the completion of every workout. The static stretches described on the following pages stretch the major
muscle groups we think are necessary to improve overall flexibility. Hold each stretch for approximately 10 - 30 seconds.

In static stretching, you should not stretch to the point of pain, but you should slowly and smoothly stretch to the point of tightness or
before muscular discomfort occurs in the muscles being stretched. For safety purposes, emphasize proper form and be sure no motion
is forced.

You  should  be  thoroughly  warmed  up  before  performing  these  exercises  ±  done  at  the  end  of  your  workout.  

Stretch  to  just  before  the  point  of  discomfort  

The  feeling  of  tightness  should  diminish  as  you  hold  the  stretch  

Breathe  out  into  the  stretch.  Avoid  breath  holding  

Hold  each  stretch  for  10-­30  seconds  

If  tightness  intensifies  or  you  feel  pain  stop  the  stretch    

Shake  out  limbs  between  stretches  

Complete  each  stretch  2-­3  times  before  moving  onto  the  next  exercise  

Upper Body Flexibility Exercises  


Stretch  #1  ±  Shoulder  &  Chest  
This  can  be  performed  kneeling  or  standing.  Clasp  hands  behind  back  and  straighten  arms.  Raise  hands  as  high  as

occur you have to challenge and push yourself in order to achieve your optimum fitness level. This conditioning program will prepare
you to return in August in the best shape possible only if you work as hard as you can all Summer. Run to get better, not just to get it
over with.

M AXIM UM I NTENSI TY is a must when training in this program. If you have anything left when you finish the workout, you did
not challenge yourself.

During these summer months it is imperative that you stay hydrated. Drink plenty of fluids including water and Gatorade prior to,
during, and after each conditioning workout. It is best to begin summer training in the early morning (6 AM ± 9 AM) or early evening
(5 PM ± 7 PM). You will be practicing and playing in the heat, so it is important to become acclimated to working in the heat. To
avoid potential physical problems, gradually begin working in the heat. In July, work out between 3 PM and 5 PM at least once
during the week. Stop the workout if you feel faint, dizzy, or get sick.

ALBION COLLEGE FOOTBALL

SPEED DRI LLS


STARTING STANCE

This will teach you how to get into a good starting stance, a necessity for doing most of the drills. This is the
same stance that you use to start the 10 and 40-yard sprints when testing.

1. Place your front foot three to six inches behind the starting line.

2. Place your hand, high on fingertips, opposite your front foot and directly on the starting line, with
your thumb and forefinger parallel to the line.

3. Place your other hand to the hip of the forward leg with your elbow up.

4. Be sure your back foot is 6 to 12 inches behind the heel of the forward foot.

5. Raise your hips slightly above shoulder height and lean forward so the shoulders are slightly ahead
of the starting line.

6. Shift the majority of your body weight onto the front leg and hand.

7. Focus eyes two to three feet in front of starting line.


FORM ST ART S
Purpose: To develop explosive running starts.

Procedure:

1. Forcefully pull back leg forward with a quick long first step.
2. Straighten front leg explosively by extending at ankle, knee, and hip.
3. Forcefully bring elbow of your support arm up and back.
4. Drive hand on the hip straight forward.
5. Move Hips forward.
6. Keep head down, relaxing neck, face, jaw, and hands.
7. Accelerate for 10 yards.

Rest: 20 seconds between each repetition.

Key Points:

1. Stay low coming out of start. Avoid standing straight up.


2. Keep toes pointing straight ahead when driving out. Avoid twisting feet to side.
3. Take first step with back leg.
POSI T I ON ST ART S
Purpose: To deYHORSJRRGDFFHOHUDWLRQIURPWKHSOD\HU¶VRQ-the-field starting stance.

Procedure:

1. Get in your on-the-field starting position stance.


2. On command, explode out of your starting stance for 10 to 15 yards.

Rest: 30 seconds between each repetition.


ACCEL ERAT I ON DRI L L S

BUI L DUPS
Purpose: To improve acceleration.

Procedure:

1. Set up a 60-yard course with the 40-yard point marked.

2. Start from a standing start into a slow run, concentrating on good running form.
3. Gradually build up speed until you are at full speed at 40 yards.
4. Once full speed is achieved at 40 yards, gradually slow down over the final 20 yards.

Rest: 60 seconds between each repetition.

Key Points:

1. Do not accelerate too fast or too slow.


2. Gradually build your speed for the entire 40 yards. Doing buildups is like driving a car with a stick
shift. Run the first 10-yards at a slow run, at 10-yards shift gears into a higher speed, at 20-yards go
into a stride, at 30 into a fast stride. You should be reaching full speed at 40-yards. Avoid running
at full speed after 40 yards is reached.

FL Y I NG 10¶S
Purpose: To improve acceleration and stride frequency.

Procedure:

1. Set up a 40-yard course with the 30-yard point marked.


2. Start running at half speed, building speed at each stride for 30 yards. By the time you reach the 30-
yard mark, you should be running at full speed (flying).
3. Continue this full-speed sprinting for 10 more yards.

Rest: 60 to 90 seconds between each repetition.

Key Points:

1. Do not accelerate too fast or too slow. It is like doing a buildup except you should be running full
speed at 30-yards.
2. After sprinting full-speed for 10-yards, slow down gradually.

20-yards.
3. By the time you reach the 30-yard mark, you should be running at full speed (flying).
4. Continue this sprint for 20 more yards.

AGILITY DRILLS
PERFORM ALL 3 AGILITY DRILLS.

DO EACH DRILL TWICE. ONCE GOING TO THE RIGHT AND


ONCE GOING TO THE LEFT.

REST 30 SECONDS BETWEEN EACH REP.


ST EEL ER DRI L L
Purpose: To improve footwork, change of direction, and reaction time.

Procedure:

1. From a three-point stance, straddle the middle line.


2. Sprint to the right line and touch it with your right hand.
3. Push off forcefully and sprint back across the middle line to the left line and touch it with your left hand.
4. Sprint back to the right, finishing at the middle line.
5. Repeat drill and this time start by going to the left.

Rest: 30 seconds between each repetition.

Key Points:

1. When running to the right always touch the line with your right hand, and touch it with your left hand when running to
the left. This ensures that you will push off with opposite feet.
2. Up to five players can do this drill at the same time and race each other.
3. A player or coach can stand in front and point to the right or left to start the players.
4. Stay low when changing directions.
