Lately, my team has been playing indoor at 11-freaking-pm. In those games, I have noticed that (while I can run for a decent enough period of time) I cannot sprint, stop, "bust a move", and sprint again. My problem is stopping, and then doing something right after that. If anyone could tell me some drills or other ways to improve this, I would greatly appreciate it.
I can do it decently, but still not as good as I would like to. How long (time) and how many (distance)?
That's nothing. Me and a group of friends rent out an indoor place starting at 1:00 in the morning till 3:00 or 3:30. We have 3 teams that play 1 goal games. Then the loser is off, on with the next team.
Different people do them different ways. I seperate 6 cones about 3 yards apart (15 yards total) and do about 10 of them. The important thing is to make the rest time as short as possible, maybe about a minute.
I know the US Nat. Team does suicides like this: 5 cones, 5 yards apart(total 25 yards, so actually 6 cones, if you're counting the one at 0 yards.) Do 10 sets...each set to be finished in 35-40 seconds. The remainder of the minute is rest, so if you do one set in 35 seconds, you have 25 seconds rest, if you do it in 40 seconds, 20 seconds rest....etc. Complete all 10 reps this way. Hope this helps...
11 is late. I mean for your body to function at it's fullest potentiial you must get a lot of sleep. Lack of sleep causes lack of energy so you may feel more tired on the the field. Though suicides wont hurt and will only make you better!
Some people require more. I can function on 8, but to perform my best I get at least 10 before gameday.
