It is also impo rtant that co rners are no t cut so co nes sho uld be placed in each co rner o f the pitch and o n the side lines at the half way line. Mark a starting po int o n the base line near the sho rt co rner injectio n mark. Each o f the effo rts are maximal so sho uld be do ne as hard as the bo dy will let yo u and the reco very is walking o n the spo t o r in a small circle.
