Football Conditioning Drills for Linebackers Linebackers are constantly on the move. Therefore, their football conditioning drills need to prepare them to be able to run sideline to sideline, into the line of scrimmage, through the Offensive Linemen, make the make the tackle and send a message. Then, they have to be able to get up and do it all over again. So, your football training needs to prepare your linebackers (or yourself, if you're a player) to be able to do this.
Here are a few conditioning drill designed to do exactly this: get your linebackers into amazing game shape...giving them ability to continually make plays all over the football field. Over and over again, for 4 quarters!
One quick note: jogging is worthless. It has no place in any football training program...football players, and linebackers especially, are designed to perform like rockets...explosive and powerful...not like some damn cross country runner!
Jogging can actually make football players slower. We have fast twitch muscle fibers, slow twitch and then there's a 3rd class of muscle fibers that can be converted one way or the other. Jogging and slow movements can convert them into slow twitch - the football player and explosive athlete's worst enemy!
Hill Sprint and Sandbag Carry

Here is an excellent builder of mental toughness that builds on the basic hill sprint.
Rather than just bounding up the hill, you'll carry a medium-heavy sandbag the entire way in either the Zercher position or on one of your shoulders. Both ways can and should be used. This has the added benefit of strengthening the abs and obliques while you build endurance.
Start with 5 – 7 sprints, total. These are harder than they sound, and, you're very early in the off-season. This will keep you in good shape without interfering with your strength or speed gains!
Sled Relays
Load a medium sled and sprint for 15-yards
Then, sprint back to the starting line with no sled.
Rest, walk back and repeat.
Do 5 total runs.
