Soccer

While many believe soccer is just an endurance sport, strength plays an important role.  Soccer is perhaps the most demanding sport to train for, because soccer is an aerobic/alactic sport.  This means that the athlete has to perform many specific soccer movements for a long period of time while being explosive and quick.  Many trainers just train the endurance of a soccer player, but here we train the specific energy systems required to excel in soccer.  The better the athlete’s aerobic capacity, then the more ground that athlete can cover.  For soccer players we want to focus on increasing:
•    General Physical Preparedness
•    Special Physical Preparedness
•    Strength/Power
•    Balance
•    Agility
•    Mobility
•    Coordination
•    And the Overall Health of the Athlete

In soccer, the athlete is always moving while trying to stay fast.  We will focus with many soccer players the fundamentals of kicking, dribbling, and shooter a soccer ball as well.  We will also stimulate game situations for an athlete to help prepare for games.
