You can tell a group got improvised training because they will absolutely marvel at the luxury of well funded professional teams and arenas. The richer, posh kids will sneer at them, while these kids will reply they didn't need sissy advantages or buy success with money. Despite the zero budget and dubious training methods, it turns out the rougher and unconventional training pays off and helps them win. The more traditional (especially the ultra well funded prep or snooty Legacy Team that always wins) will have such rigid and inflexible mindsets that the ragtag team keeps catching them by surprise. Be it with creative plays or enduring more pain, or outperforming them. Occasionally, the training itself may even give them comparable or superior physical performance, at times bordering on Charles Atlas Super Powers. Not to be confused with Poor Man's Substitute about dealing with actors. |

Rocky does a version of this in every movie, chasing chickens, using whole cows as heavy bags, lifting logs, etc., usually done to an 80's Sports Montage. In Rocky IV his working out was juxtaposed with his opponent's high-tech training, contrasting Rocky's lifting boulders and chopping wood to Drago's using high-tech equipment with dozens of scientists surrounding him. | |

In Lagaan the new Indian cricket team chases chickens and the like. Half of their special skills originate from ordinary tasks that they do in their day jobs too. | |

Shaolin Soccer, a washed up pro soccer trainer converts a team of washed up kung-fu trained brothers into a team of Super Soccer Kung Fu Monks. With such feats as eggs tossing and catching, and pitting them against a team that uses metal hand tools to bludgeon their opponents. | |

In McFarland, USA, the dirt-poor boys don't even own decent shoes, much less a facility. After seeing his team lose because they can't run uphill well, Coach White has them train by running up and down tarp-covered hills of almonds. | |

Cool Runnings has the story of the first Jamaican bobsledding team. With such gems as "sliding" on a cart down rocky hills, and locking players in an ice cream truck to acclimate them to the cold. | |

The Turtle Hermit trains Goku and Krillin in Dragon Ball by having them deliver milk to an entire island every morning, plow fields with their bare hands, dodge bees after hitting beehives, swim in a lake with a shark in it, do construction work, etc. All with a 40 kg turtle shell on their backs (that gets doubled in weight a few months in). | |

In Firebird (Lackey), when posing as a mad fool and dead bored, Ilya improvised training to keep fit. There's a notable passage of the book that makes perfect sense in context of a life of extreme physical labor, but is sure to make anyone who's run track double over laughing: | |

Subverted in Rurouni Kenshin where Sano (a brawler) attempts to train while traveling to Kyoto by knocking down trees with his bare hands. Eventually however he admits, that this isn't really training and he's not learning anything useful by doing it. At least while he's lost in the forest he does meet a mentor who does train him and show him new techniques. | |

Eyeshield 21 had this trope going in the beginning. Ojou were so luxurious they owned a castle in Germany for the sole purpose of training in it. Deimon? They pushed a truck half way across the US in a month (part of the reason was also because they didn't have enough money for more gas). | |

A variant in Major League sees the ball players improvising ways to recover from the exertions of training, after the team's hostile owner takes away all their equipment. One player is seen lying in an improvised whirlpool bath made up of an aluminium horse trough, a garden hose, and an outboard boat motor. | |
