All the time a couple of kick!
Are you a very good kicker? Considered one of my favourite exercises, about as soon as a month throughout my faculty profession was 200 yard repeats. I did them on a baseball subject or soccer pitch on the surface of the sector in baseball or two sides on soccer. The thought was to run about 25-40 seconds onerous, jog a pair minutes and repeat. I did this as much as 20 instances, however for highschool athletes I might counsel 6-8.
One other trick is to, in all repeats or intervals, improve tempo over final 1/3 of distance. I did this all season in Junior 12 months in highschool, and it actually helped my kick! Maybe it’s going to allow you to!
