The future of soccer conditioning has arrived.
With content ranging from how to properly develop speed, strength,
power, and agility in players at all levels to unique position-specific
training guidelines and detailed return-to-play protocols, Complete
Conditioning for Soccer is a real game changer.
Training protocols and progressions, complete with schematics of
on-field conditioning drills, guide conditioning for players from youth
to professional levels. Field players of every position will increase
strength to dribble through traffic. Forwards will pack more power into
shots on goal. Central midfielders will improve quickness and agility to
find open passing lanes and evade opponents. Goalkeepers will develop
the explosiveness to cover the width of the goal to make that save.
Emphasizing player movement and conditioning needs for the long term,
you will learn the positional and seasonal demands that directly impact
player development and performance and discover the significant
differences between playing styles, positions, levels of play, and
genders.
To keep players game-ready, you'll find detailed information on avoiding
some of the most common soccer injuries as well as step-by-step,
position-specific training protocols for players returning from injury.
Written by Ryan Alexander, the director of sports science for Atlanta
