How to run this drill

Football Conditioning Drills – Fatigue Fighter is built for youth, high-school, and volunteer coaches who need clear drill language — not a random cone circuit. Beginners can install the first progression; experienced staffs can layer competition.

  1. Read the purpose once, then walk the setup on air before live tempo.
  2. Demonstrate one clean rep so players see landmarks, pad level, and finish.
  3. Run short competitive periods — quality reps beat long lines.
  4. Close with one coaching cue players can repeat in the huddle next period.

Full drill

I attempt to be creative when planning my practice plans for the week.   I try to change things up frequently, make the drills fun, competitive in position and team drills. This is one of the football conditioning drills I enjoy AND so do my players.

I believe I get more out of my players during practice; they are well conditioned for the 4th quarter and install team unity.

I use it for the linebackers, running backs and defensive backs at the end of our football practice right after wind sprints for some form of conditioning .

Fatigue Fighter Drill

I pair them up in three lines and set cones out at 10 yards. On the whistle the second player in each line picks up and puts the first guy on his shoulder and sprints as fast as he can to the cone and back with out dropping his team mate.

We run this drill until everyone has completed both parts of the drill. They enjoy the competitive aspect of it and they really don’t grasp how much they are gaining from this 5 minute drill.

Please note:   rbs love to race against the dbs and the lbs usually bring up the rear but sometimes surprise.

The winner gets bragging rights but they are all winners from what they have gained from this conditioning drill.

Coaching tips

  • For bag / agility work, prioritize high knees, eyes up, and ball security through traffic.
  • Keep one cue per rep so kids hear the same language every time.
  • Film the first live set; pause on footwork and finish, not just the ball.
  • Pair this drill with a matching play install so practice transfers to game day.
