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.
