Teams that struggle together get tighter. We look at shared privation as a practical tool for building real unity, and go through our favourite ways to do it: Game Fit, repeat sprints, and bike 8-12s. We also call out the penalties that coaches keep reaching for (long runs, sit-ups, burpees) that do more harm than good.
