- 30-meter sprints : Sprint 30 meters twice with three minutes rest in between to train your top speed.

After you have trained your speed, move on to dribbling exercises and ball control, which are crucial for wingers:
- Dribbling start : Practice quickly catching and taking the ball by pulling both outwards and inwards.
- Taking the ball from the air : Play the ball into the air yourself and then take it cleanly and explosively into your run.
