The best training for soccer players is both sport and game specific. Practice is then run with the aim of perfecting tactics and techniques. But this is not the full picture. Players must also be fast and agile; they must have speed and endurance. To best train the muscles needed for speed and agility, coaches should introduce strength training and conditioning into their training programs, and Training & Conditioning for Soccer is the perfect book to help coaches do exactly that.
First, the reader is introduced to the sport of soccer and the fundamentals of the game; physiological demands and training methodology needed to develop strength and power are part of the basics of training. Then, the following chapters cover the best training methods for developing game- and position-specific endurance. Included in these chapters are brief discussions of those more popular yet ineffective training methods used today, clarifying why the methods in this book are superior for training speed and agility in soccer players. Finally, the reader is given examples of training models, including how to create their own models that will train their players in all aspects of the game. The reader will also find here example training plans for each physical ability that should be developed as well as the best strength training exercises to incorporate into soccer practice.
Written by Tudor Bompa, the creator of periodization training, Training & Conditioning in Soccer is the best guide for introducing strength training into soccer practice to develop fast and agile players.
