Prep for the DUKE COMBINE - Training Tips

Cone Drill: This short shuttle test is known as the 5-10-5 drill. You will start in the three-point stance, explode out 5 yards to your right, touch the cone, go back 10 yards to your left, left hand touches the cone, pivot, and run 5 more yards to finish. If you prefer, you can do this test in the reverse direction, starting left. You will be offered up to three attempts at your best time.

Vertical Leap:  You will be tested based on your highest leap from standing (there is no running start). You will have only three attempts at the vertical leap.

Standing Broad Jump: From a standing position you will jump out as far as possible. If your tail or hand falls behind you, you will be marked at the spot where it touches the ground. You will be given three opportunities to do the broad jump.

Bench Press: We will determine your one rep maximum based on your ability to perform 1-10 reps at one of three weights. For men those weights are 135#, 225# or 275#. For the women the weights are 65#, 95# and 135#.

If you can do more than 10 reps, you MUST go to the higher weight and perform the test again.
