Efficient Use of Time

The workout was broken up into four stations and one of the first things I noticed was how efficient and organized everything was.

There was no wasted time as players were going at all four stations at the same time. The drills allowed little time for players to rest as they were in constant motion.

By the time they were completing a rep on the mat and got back to the line it was almost their turn to get another rep in at that station.

The drills taking place while others were on the mats were constant motion. One drill observed off to the side was players throwing what looked like a 20-pound medicine ball against the wall.

Other players were riding airdyne bikes while others were doing high knees while walking with resistance bands.

One of the common narratives with the old staff was how much time was wasted at practice and how unorganized things were. The Tour of Duty workout is structured extremely well and is likely means practices will be designed to maximize time for players to get the most reps possible.
