American Football, like many other sports, has a history of coaches with a poor understanding of the sport's demands inflicting upon players the necessity to run laps of the pitch, and engage in other forms of training at odds with the sport's unique demands. With a constant stop start style to the play, with the average play lasting no longer than ten seconds, followed by a much longer rest period, its demands are closer to traditional sprinting and weight training methods, than sports such as Rugby or Boxing, where there is a much greater endurance element required. At the same time, the sport has a big element of lateral mobility and technical considerations to consider, absent from pure speed or strength sports.
Given the wide range of requirements for the different positions in football, this article will focus on planning the training for a typical week for Linebackers, Backs and Strong Safeties, although the advice is applicable to most positions except Kickers and Offensive/Defensive Linemen. Even then, many of the elements would remain broadly similar for these positions.
