Soccer Training 101

Total Soccer Fitness Review

The purpose of the Soccer Fitness Package is to inform and instruct soccer players and coaches about playing soccer and soccer fitness. It is a complete packages covering conditioning drills, nutrition, mindset, and more.

The fact is that skill and “natural ability” aren’t worth much if you can’t consistently apply it on the field in real soccer matches. How effective a soccer player is on the field is all that really matters. Total Soccer Fitness teaches you how to combine the latest in sports science with a desire to succeed.

The Total Soccer Fitness is the primary manual and focuses on conditioning. It really is “total”, focusing on six areas: Aerobic & Anaerobic Endurance Conditioning, Strength & Explosive Power Conditioning, Speed, Agility & Quickness Conditioning, Flexibility Conditioning & Stretching for Soccer, Warming Up & Cooling Down (More Important Than You Might Think), Scientifically Testing Your Level of Soccer Fitness.

The Total Soccer Fitness manual is very thorough, providing you with both important information and effective drills. You will discover things like the most effective training methods to deal with the debilitating build up of lactic acid (one drill performed just twice a week will amaze you!). Also,
how to guarantee that your sprints are as quick in the final 10 minutes of a game as they are in the first 10 minutes.

Concerning strength conditioning the manual teaches you the four phases of a strength training program and exactly when they should occur. There is also facts about the most important type of strength for soccer and whether traditional weightlifting can actually be detrimental. There are sample circuit training routines specifically designed for soccer that combine strength and endurance (and require next to no equipment). These are fully illustrated

Speed and quickness separates the outstanding players from the average – the successful teams from the runners up. As the standard increase… so does the speed of play. But being quick involves much more than just the ability to run fast. Total Soccer Fitness shows you how a quick player can be made… regardless of genetic make up.

Two areas that are often underrated are warm-ups and flexibility. The Total Soccer Fitness manual gives appropriate attention to these important elements of an effective soccer training program. Discover which type of stretching you should avoid before a game or training session and why (most players and coaches still make this mistake). A step-by-step warm up and cool down routine that prepares you physically AND mentally for a game is included.

The best way to discover if a soccer player is improving is by testing. Total Soccer Fitness suggests field tests for maximal strength, strength endurance, speed, speed endurance, aerobic endurance, flexibility and agility (all requiring very little specialist equipment).

Goalkeepers are not left out! Each chapter of Total Soccer Fitness ends with a section for goalkeepers. Most coaching and conditioning books leave them out… even when they are the first name on the team sheet! If you’re a goalkeeper or coach you’ll be pleased to know Total Soccer Fitness covers ALL the important conditioning principles and drills for this all-important position!

This complete would be sufficient in itself but the author includes five information-packed and useful bonuses. The first one is the Soccer Exercise Library. You get access to over 100 drills and exercises specifically designed for soccer players. The drills are fully illustrated and are accompanied by easy-to-follow instructions. Each section is also split into “drills with the ball” and “drills without the ball”.

The next bonus is Total Soccer Nutrition: Eating For Soccer Peak Performance. In this manual you will learn How much a soccer player should be eating of carbohydrate, fat and protein. When, what and how much should a player eat before a game? How to refuel after a match and just how important it is. Timing is everything – learn how to avoid limiting drops in blood sugar before you play.

Bonus number three is Total Soccer Psychology: 10 Powerful Mental Techniques For Soccer Peak Performance. Most players don’t realize just what they are capable of. They spend time conditioning their bodies – do they do the same for their mind? Follow the instructions in this manual and witness the transformation on the field.

The fourth bonus is Smoothies For Athletes: 120 Delicious Recipes For Energy & Recovery. Designed specifically with athletes in mind, the mouth-watering, vitamin-packed shakes deliver are an ideal snack and post-match meal.

Finally, you can send your training plan by e-mail and I will personally review it make any recommendations. As comprehensive as Total Soccer Fitness is, you’ll have the reassurance that you will be making the VERY most of the time and facilities available to you.

The total soccer fitness package is worth nearly $160.00 but you can order it through Paypal for only $25.00 and receive not only the Soccer Fitness program but also an additional five bonus gifts free of charge.

Value for money: The total Soccer fitness package is actually valued at nearly $160.00 but is available for only $25.00 so it is a very good value.
