    About this ebook

    Are you a skilled soccer player who can't make it big? Is it because of your lack of physical and mental fitness?




    This book is your answer
    This book will provide an excellent way to help with soccer fitness for players and coaches. The book will look at fitness for soccer and consider how this reflects and differs from general fitness. It will offer examples of ways in which players can enhance their endurance for playing soccer.
    It will also look at the kind of fitness specifically needed for playing soccer at the highest level our ability allows, considering the science behind the practice. 'Soccer Fitness' will consider the different aspects of getting fit for soccer.
    It will look at ways to develop upper body strength. There will be practical guidance offered with regards to plyometrics – specific training programmes to develop explosiveness of movement, and subsequent speed. Pace is needed in soccer, although it is a sprint and jog sport. The book will offer practical ways to develop the much-needed attribute of stamina as well.
    It is not just physical fitness that is required to be a good football player, but mental awareness is vital; positioning, selecting passes, making runs, concentration – all are about developing good mental fitness to help make the best decisions in a fast-developing situation. This book will offer ways to enhance this.
    We will also look at the kind of discipline needed to become fit enough to play soccer to the highest level we can, and how diet can aid with achieving this specific fitness for playing soccer. We hope that the book will offer insights to help us achieve what we all want in our sporting joys, whether playing at a fun amateur level, at local league standard, semi-professional level or even for those who dream of playing professionally.
    For coaches, the book will also consider the different requirements of fitness for youth and children's football.

    Introduction

    Thank you for purchasing this book. We hope it will provide an excellent way to help with soccer fitness for players and coaches. The book will look at fitness for soccer and consider how this reflects and differs from general fitness. It will offer examples of ways in which players can enhance their condition for playing soccer.

    It will also look at the kind of fitness specifically needed for playing soccer at the highest level our ability allows, considering the science behind the practice. ‘Soccer Fitness’ will consider the different aspects of getting fit for soccer.

    It will look at ways to develop upper body strength. There will be practical guidance offered with regards to plyometrics – specific training programmes to develop explosiveness of movement, and subsequent speed. But not only is pace needed in soccer, although it is a sprint and jog sport. The book will offer practical ways to develop the much-needed attribute of stamina as well.

    It is not just physical fitness that is required to be a good football, but mental awareness is vital; positioning, selecting passes, making runs, concentration – all are about developing good mental fitness to help make the best decisions in a fast-developing situation. This book will offer ways to enhance this.

    We will also look at the kind of discipline needed to become fit enough to play soccer to the highest level we can, and how diet can aid with achieving this specific fitness for playing soccer. We hope that the book will offer insights to help us achieve what we all want in our sporting joys, whether playing at a fun amateur level, at local league standard, semi professional or even for those who dream of playing professionally.

    For coaches, the book will also consider the different requirements for fitness for youth and children’s football.

    Soccer Fitness V Standard Fitness

    There’s no doubt, to play soccer well a fair degree of physical and mental fitness is needed. However, it is also the case that just being fit in the ‘going down the gym’ sense is not enough to be able to play soccer to a high standard, or to a level that gives the best personal satisfaction. What we might call everyday fitness is important, but for the soccer field even more is needed.

    In this chapter we will look at what is entailed to achieve everyday fitness, then how that can be built on to get ready for soccer.

    Everyday Physical Fitness

    What constitutes ‘fit’? That really is down to the individual, and what they wish to do with their bodies, how they wish to look and how they would like to feel. If we take two extremes, an international prop forward in rugby union will be as fit as possible but will look and feel very different to a top class long distance runner.

    However, we do need to establish a benchmark, and so with the provisos mentioned above, let us define ‘fitness’ under five headings. We can then look at these headings, below, and explore some of the ways they can be achieved.

    Cardiovascular fitness or endurance
