Soccer Fitness Program training for Kids
Article by Rob Jones
It’s true There’s no better feeling than watching your child smile and dash out to the soccer field. You’ve seen first-hand just how much your child loves it. Specially when the team wins the cheers, the joy, the high-fives all around!So ask yourself this: Wouldn’t it be great if match after match, it was your child that everyone wanted to carry around over their shoulders? Can you imagine what it would be like if the coach (and every other team-mate) considered your child to be the star of the team? Do you think your child would enjoy this? Would it make you proud? The good news is that giving your child this kind of advantage IS possible – and it’s actually much easier than you think. So sit back, relax and read every word on this page because I’m about to reveal this well-kept secret.There is ONE common trait among all great soccer players. A secret if you will… And it is this: In addition to their regular soccer training, every soccer player who stands out from the crowd also follows a fitness program.
And not just any fitness program. One that is specially designed for soccer players.
You see, soccer has evolved and the dynamics have changed in the past few years. It is now a high-energy game of power and speed. A game where your child needs to be able to sprint and recover quickly on a continuous basis. A game with sudden twists, turns, tackling, kicking and jumping. In fact, playing soccer without proper fitness training is a disaster waiting to happen.
Soccer disasters: Is your child at risk?
The sad thing is that most coaches (who are supposed to be “experts”) still think that soccer-specific fitness program is not necessary for young players.
And the few coaches that even consider it, are using watered-down fitness programs that were meant for adult athletes. And without knowing it, they’re doing your child more harm than good. Or worse…
They could be putting your child at serious risk of injury!
For example: Did you know that making your child jog for 20-30 minutes actually makes for slower and weaker sprints? Not good for soccer players… Plus, it puts unnecessary strain on the joints, which frequently leads to overuse injuries.
Or, did you know that most gym workout fitness programs (aside from being too expensive) get your child “bulky” instead of building the core strength needed for soccer players? This leads to slower and ineffective players who suffer more fatigue.
On the other hand, proper soccer fitness program training makes the game safer and much more enjoyable. And it gives your child an unfair advantage out on the field.
Give your child an unfair advantage…
Helping your son or daughter implement a soccer fitness program is easier than you think… and it brings many benefits. Here are just a few of them:
More power to win 50-50 balls
More strength to shield the ball and fend off opponents
More speed to win races down the flanks every single time
More energy that leads to faster sprint recovery
More stamina – Which means less fatigue during and after the game
Female players gain strength without getting “bulky”
Male players gain more muscle without losing flexibility
Both male and female players lose weight (fat) without losing strength
Avoiding the risk of serious injuries (common on other soccer players)
And yes, more fun while dominating their opponents with ease…
Clearly, a well-planned soccer fitness program has a lot of advantages. And naturally, you want to help your child become the best soccer player possible. And you want to do it while keeping him or her safe from costly and dangerous injuries.
So, after 20 years of watching, training and rehabbing young soccer players… I’ve finally decided to create the ultimate soccer fitness program
