  3. Pace • Judge your running in time with the beep. Stop / start wastes energy. • If you turn early- gradually bring it back, don’t stop and wait, keep going. • Lead off the line above pace, a bit quicker than the level you’re on for the first 3-5 strides. Slow into the line for the turn.

  4. Turning • One foot to touch the line. Never cross the line. • Turn before the line, step back to push off. • Turn with each leg. Left at one end, right at the other, avoid using only the muscles on one side of your body.

  5. Running • Run with your head up, watch your feet only at the line. • Shoulders relaxed, elbows bent. • Avoid wasting energy by talking etc, at any stage.

  6. Mental • Negative perceptions. Why do we hate the beep test? It’s a maximal output test. • Current Level- know what level you’re on. • Target level- know what level you need to get. • Trouble level- know what level you normally struggle on. Make your first goal to get past this level, know you’ve made it and you can do the rest. • Know you can do it.

  7. Preparation • Perfect practice makes perfect. • Fluids & foods- hydration and energy are vital. • Warm up – less running, more stretching.

  8. Good Luck! • Go out there and do your best, meet your targets and use your fitness to improve your umpiring. • And finally…. • Enjoy it!?!?!? Scotty O’Brien
