Set-up

Each player completes three maximal 120-yard runs with two minutes recovery between each. Fitness-test day — 120-test near the end of the preseason block to track sprint capacity development from the start of camp. Record individual times; compare against baseline.

Coaching points

  • Drive phase in the first 20 yards — lean forward, powerful arm drive
  • Maintain form in the final 40 yards even when fatigued — don't let the head drop
  • This is the last fitness test; give everything — this is what you've built toward

Progressions

  • N/A — test protocol is fixed
  • Share results individually with each player after the session — acknowledge improvement publicly
