Obviously the volumes and types of drills used must be individualized per each athlete relative to their condition.
to give you an idea, however, of what a session could look like:
Last week I worked with two 1st string skill players (one with a hamstring strain, the other with an adductor magnus strain) Both of them were in a condition that impaired their ability to accelerate and change direction and were given the week off of practice by the medical and coaching staff.
Along with what I’ve had them do, they receive various therapeutic modalities in our training room.
Tuesday
Marching A 10x10yd
A Skip 10 x 10yd
Running A 10 x 10yd
Wednesday
Marching A 10x10yd
A skip 10x15yds
Running A 10x15yds
Marching B 10x10yds (used as a test for my hamstring guy and he felt good)
B Skip 10x10yds (hamstring guy felt good)
*note- the B versions are something that are not introduced for a while, depending on the grade of hamstring pull; however, I’ll use the marching version as a test to see where we are at and then if that goes well we see how the skip looks.
Thursday
A skip 10 x 20yds
Running A 10 x 20yds
*I instruct and ensure that all power-speed drills are performed to near perfection (relative to what the athlete can do)
Friday and Saturday Off
Today they both ran ~1000-1200yds of tempo absolutely pain free with confidence. Both athletes told me they felt very good running.
We have a bye week before our game with Miami so I have ample time to ramp them back up with sub-max accelerations and positional maneuvers unless they are required to practice instead.
Understand that I do not use pre-set volumes. All of this sort of work is individualized according to the athlete and the situation. So as Charlie would say, those drills and volumes are history not philosophy.
