If you can recover harder then you can train, you’re an opponents biggest fear. Once I became familiar with stretching before and after practices I never stopped, and have been good to go ever since. Fun fact you can reduce lactic acid in the body by stretching!

Sometimes the biggest issues in a game start with the smallest problems. As a soccer player you have to dominate in the realm of recovery, preparation and consistency in training. The reason I say this, is because one little injury can take you out for a season, which can be devastating to your overall progress and momentum.

Outside midfielders are a super important role and here’s why: These positions give your team width, and more flexibility for your team to maneuver the ball. That being said, whether your team is defending or attacking. You need to be level with the ball to provide maximum support. In conclusion, have some great cardio if you plan to play on the wings 😅

The conditions we dread to play in, but know to expect. Playing in the rain can cause extremely uncertain conditions for a game.The ball will skip and slide like butter in a frying pan, or it can land in a puddle and freeze. So it’s important to familiarize yourself with rainy conditions, as it’s always better to be safe than sorry.

“We are all apprentices in a craft where no one ever becomes a master” - Ernest Hemingway Although most soccer players don’t strive for dense upper bodies. I personally believe it’s a vitally important trait to maintain in a sport with contact, especially keepers. One prime example: headers on a corner kick.

The sun may be setting, but the grind is just beginning! 😤 The beautiful thing about the game is it can be trained at anytime and at any destination. Indoor or outdoor, there’s always something you can do it improve your abilities.

Footwear has to easily be the most important part to a soccer players career. Whether it be indoor or outdoor, the cleats you wear support every step you take, and if it’s too narrow, too wide, too uncomfortable or short in length, that can completely alter your entire gameplay. Invest in yourself, by giving yourself the best.

Getting your reps done no matter the subject is going to be pivotal for your potential. Whether those reps are intellectually or physically. They will build you up faster and stronger than you’ve ever been, so make sure to sculpt your drills to fit your play style ⚽️

Saturday started off perfect with a deep full body stretch and jog. Topping off the jog with a little bit of juggling to bring back mobility in the legs. Later tonight we’ll finish out with a juicy chest pump! How’s your weekend going?!
2023-10-14 17:56:36 +0000 UTC View PostHappy Friday!! Using today as a recovery day. Simply stretching out and getting some fun cardio in instead of weights. Although taking a week off from juggling a normal ball can take its toll, enjoy my first touches of the day lol!

Let’s talk protein benefits 💪🏼 We all know protein is good for you but why? No matter the exercise, your body creates micro tears in the muscle. The faster you replenish that muscle with protein and amino acids, the faster that muscle can repair and build itself back. Don’t forget your post workout protein shakes! 💪🏼😤

At first I got a mini ball thinking it was for fun. However, I found myself getting close to a few thousand touches a week! All because it was right at my feet and easy to play with around the house. All I can say is if a soccer player keeps one of these in his bag, you know he’s a baller!

There’s only two specific times for cardio, either in the morning and weights at night, or cardio after weights and here’s why: Cardio burns your body’s glycogen reserves extremely fast. So fast that your body is left with no choice but to tap into fat. When you workout with weights, it’s crucial your body has lots of carbohydrates (glycogen) to use. Otherwise you’ll fatigue extremely quick, and won’t be able to hit as many high intensity sets. This reasoning alone is why I prefer them at different times.

“It’s not the destination it’s the journey.” The beautiful part about the game is it changes rapidly. Whether it be a team’s play style, improved fitness, physicality or a new idea implemented. The game will always develop, but don’t forget to train the basics, it’s the most important part.

One of the most underrated forms of cardio: dancing. Spent a couple days with no cell reception dancing my feet away as a little vacation. DM me what you did this weekend! 👀

Medicine ball crunches: By far one of my favorite ab exercises due to its full range of motion, tight contraction, and ability to hit all abs evenly. Whether it’s after a workout or run, this is a great way to finish out the day.

Play styles: Every player has their own strengths and weaknesses. Build your arsenal of a couple solid skill moves, then practice and perfect them for games. We can’t all be Ronaldo, but we can be calculated.

Nothing like a quick home leg workout. If you have spare weights or a house hold item that’s heavy enough, grab it and hit some lunges! They’re a great lower body exercise for glutes, quads and even core development.

Cardio to start the morning off has been one of the biggest game changers to improving day to day functionality. Something as simple as a 10 minute long jog can significantly improve respiratory health & overall fitness.

A large part of dribbling is keeping the ball extremely close to you. Some players will pass the ball in front of them then catch up to it. This is good if you get passed the defender, but small calculated touches will do you much better!

Nutrition: Throughout my weight & strength gaining journey I’ve dialed down on 3 important words. Proteins, carbohydrates & volume. Arguably the three most important words for health and fitness overall.

Got a quick cardio & tanning session in before tonight’s leg day. Focused on some high intensity dribbling with quick changes in direction. The goal is to recreate a game like pace in a close quarters environment so you can always be prepared ⚽️!

Gloves are a very important: certain gloves have a better advantage over others such as finger flexibility or safety guards. The fact that certain gloves can hinder your performance as a goalie could make or break a goalkeepers performance. Don’t forget to evaluate all your options when gloving up 🧤

Throw ins: An important part of the game. However, with enough power it becomes a deadly part to the game. With some players able to throw close to 30 yards. It goes from putting the ball back in play, to setting up an attack on goal.

Switch your scene up! Whether it be your room, a vacation, a new workout or just a different route to work, shocking the mind is a powerful force. It forces you to adapt, think differently, and become better equipped for the future. Stay frosty! 🥶

Abs: They can be hit from anywhere, and at any anytime. Your core is a vital component that’s either with you, or against you. The beauty in soccer is it’s a game of creativity, and that means lots of agility work and direction changing. Hit a 5 minute plank with me post workout! 🥵😤

There’s one superpower we actually have the consistent ability to grow: Strength. As you stay consistent in any physical field, you’re going to develop muscle to handle that motion next time around. We’re apex predators built to adapt, stay active! 💪🏼😤
