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
