120 Test — Final Fitness Check

Fitness-test day — 12-minute Cooper run (120 test); players complete as much distance as possible in 12 minutes. Record distance per player. Compare against day-one 2-mile and midpoint beep test — you now have a full arc on every fit player in this squad.

• Pace yourself — this is 12 minutes, not a sprint
• Mental toughness here; this is the last hard thing before the first game
• Coaches: watch who pushes through fatigue — that tells you who you want on the pitch in the 80th minute

• Log all three test results side by side; share individually with players post-session
• Any player showing regression from midpoint gets a quiet conversation, not a public shaming
