Hi, my name is Andy and I'm a Personal Trainer and Sports Conditioning Trainer in Bosnia. You should consider including some pre-conditioning work early in the off-season; lunge walks, leg cycling, high knee lifts, foot drills, backward running, sideways skips and single-leg squats, calf raises, and medicine ball abdominal work. This will help to strengthen the stabilising muscles around the joints and prepare you for the harder work to come later in the off-season. Acceleration work; 150 m split into 50 m segments, ie 50 m accelerate, 50 m hold and 50 m fast with long recovery- up to 4 minutes. If you would like more advice as the off-season progresses, let me know, I'll be happy to help.

Hey, some coaches recommend not to practise the same sport during the off-season, due to injury risk. Instead, let the tissues to recover while exercise other complementary things by practising other sports. Off-season is off-specific-sport. Strenght specific muscles during the basis stage.
