Intense Soccer Fitness Program
I’ve designed a simple 6 weeks running program for soccer, something that you can use with your athletes on the break or have it in your toolbox and apply it if needed in the RTP protocols or as extra conditioning. We have also developed a simple Excel template that you can use to calculate everything in this running-based program. This makes it ready-to-use program for your athletes. Soccer is the total sport. And a well-thought-out soccer training program must reflect that. Soccer players must perform with short bursts of power and speed AND have the ability to keep going for 90 minutes or more.
To stand out on the pitch, elite soccer players must develop every aspect of their game, from passing to dribbling to shooting to tackling. Likewise, the constant running within soccer requires its players to perform workouts consisting of intense conditioning, short-burst and top-end speed drills and lateral quickness training. Learn how to boost your performance with soccer workouts, drills and training advice from today's top experts and players, like Landon Donovan, Hope Solo and Abby Wambach.
