ladders, hills...dont know if you have access but do parachutes where you run with a parachute on your back. or you can also do the elastic band work. where you have this vest on thats attached to an elastic. Someone holds it and you run away as fast as you can until it starts pulling you back.

You could pull sleds? Do agility styled drills? What kind of sport bro? Football I assume?

Sled Pulls are really good for endurance, stamina, strength, and helps to build speed fosho. Good advice right there Imo.
