All-Star Punishment

What would you use as punishment for an athlete with a sprained ankle. I normally just make kids run and do sprints but this is not possible because this person has a sprained ankle. What would you recommend.

If I have an athlete that can't run...they do crunched, v-ups, lemon squeezes ect

Thanks for the input. Does anyone have anything a lot harder. I'm looking for something real tough the athlete was 45 min late because of a haircut.

v-ups, pike-ups, sit ups, hollow body holds for like a minute, leg lifts

I usually break them out for excessive talking. I'll give a warning...maybe 2, but eventually you'll be conditioning, and hollow holds are my favorite.

I'd rather do hollow holds anyway than have to run a mile!!!! But maybe that's just me lol

Wall sits. Do you have a stationary bike? Make her ride through the routine, doing arm motions and saying the cheer words. We used to have to do this for gymnastics, with a "sprint" for our tumbling passes.

Hollow body planks. (make them engage all their muscles)

I don't think you should use conditioning as a punishment. Athletes shouldn't look upon conditioning as a negative, it should be something you want to do to be better. How about cleaning the gym, dusting the trophies, etc?
