TRAINING PHILOSOPHIES
Soccer Preparation
|
Before a soccer athlete can be expected to perform successfully with the complexity of a ball and 21 other players on the field affecting the game and their body movements, they have to know how to control their own bodies first. A "strength aerobics" style of light weight and fast movements through circuit training is productive, beneficial, fun, and challenging. It's the best way to prepare the body for competing in soccer.
|
Player vs. Athlete
|
A "player" is a person who is involved in a game of some sort and participates for the simple purpose of wanting/needing to be a part of the activity. An "athlete" is a person who is involved in a sport requiring physical skill and participates because he/she possesses a talent that they embrace and cultivate appropriately. The extent to which a person is willing to dedicate themselves to their activity while maintaining a well-rounded focus on the other things in life that are just as important (education, family, career, health, socialization) is the defining line between calling yourself a soccer player and a soccer athlete. This specialized strength and conditioning training is essential to transforming a regular soccer player into an elite athlete.
|
Setting Goals
|
Whether the goal is to make varsity, get a college scholarship, or play in the professional leagues the training necessary to reach that level of competition needs to be your catalyst to get there. Setting specific short and long-term goals is extremely important. If you don't have an incentive to push yourself to fine tune all your abilities, discover new levels of skill, and treat your body right then you'll end up losing focus and making excuses to quit, so you have to hold yourself accountable for taking the steps to reach your goal.
