Blast your soccer fitness to new levels in only 12 weeks-Year after year.

Blast your Aerobic Soccer Fitness to whole new levels. Utilizing shorter higher intensity bursts, Elite Soccer Fitness will train the aerobic and anaerobic systems. This program uses vital training methodologies that world class professional trainers and sprint coaches have known about for years to blast your aerobic fitness to new levels without risking loses in sprint speed.  This is a twelve week program meant to prepare you for your most important season.

Become complete soccer players

In soccer you only touch the ball about 3-5% during a game.  If you wish to become the complete soccer player you cannot focus only on skill development with the ball.  Becoming the best player or team means that you are effective with the ball and during the 95% of the time you don't have the ball.  Our team and individual training programs will prepare you to make your soccer team,  win more tournaments and become better soccer players. 

You will not only prepare the heart for soccer but also the muscles

Look at it this way. Compare the leg and arm movements of a marathoner to a soccer player. The marathoner does not aggressively drive the hips like you would see in someone sprinting to score a goal.  When you get a chance, watch how an elite marathon runner moves his legs and how an elite 100 meter sprinter moves his legs, you will see a big difference.  When training for soccer you want to incorporate “the vigorous hip extension and corresponding sprint motor pattern …. Remember you are trying to condition the muscles and the circulatory system.” (Functional training for sports, Mike Boyle).

Each year's program u-14 to u-18 gets progressively harder

You have access to all the programs from U-14 to U-18 upon purchase.  If you are a coach or an athlete you have a great advantage using this program because it is built to get harder and harder from u-14 through u-18 boys or girls.  Whether you start at u-14 to u-18 it does not matter.  Start at whatever age you are now and follow the program through u-18.  The program starts you with the exact sets, reps and intensity based on age and gender, then progressively gets harder and harder throughout the 12 week program.  If those sets and reps are too easy or hard then simply remove or add some reps to fit your needs.  

(Important note:  This is not a year around program.  Each age's 12 week program increases in difficulty from one year to the next. Thus getting more and more difficult as you get older.)

To be the best you have to be on the field-Reduce the likelihood of injury

Your training only helps if it allows you to play optimally without injury.  The body is exposed to up to seven times its body weight on each step during running.  Imagine exposing your body to that kind of pounding step after step mile after mile.  Your chances of developing an overuse injury will go up during this type of training.  Running mile after mile exposes the body to overuse injuries.  In addition your training needs to include elements that happen during the game like cutting and quick bursts.  As was mentioned above you need to use the vigorous hip extension that is seen in the game.  By training with cuts,  no long slow distance running, and using the vigorous hip extension seen in sprinting you are training the body the way it will be used in games.  This will decrease your chances on injury.  If you want to be the best you have to be on the field.

Scientific study showed that simultaneous sprint and endurance training decreased sprint speed and jump power.

Callister et al. showed that simultaneous sprint and aerobic endurance training decreased sprint speed and jump power. (Callister et al. Performance adaptations to sprint, endurance and both models of training. J.Appl. Sport Sci. Res. 2:46-51. 1988.) 

To read the entire study click here.

Power lies at the heart of athletic success and movement.  Don't decrease power and speed because of bad training routines.

Why would you want to get into shape only to jeopardize that oh so vital quality, your speed?  The goal is to become the best player or the best team. Scouts and coaches notice speed and power on the soccer field. To win more games and be noticed more by scouts and recruiters it helps to be fast and quick.  Your training program must decrease the likelihood that you will lose that speed and power.  Please remember, this is a fitness program meant to decrease loses in speed by faulty training methods,  not a speed program.  I just want to make sure that you consider the overall athlete while developing soccer fitness.  If you mess up in this one area it can affect your soccer speed and power.  If you still don't believe me then read this excerpt I got from the credible PubMED.

"The development of power lies at the foundation of all movement, especially athletic performance. Unfortunately, training programs of athletes often seek to improve cardiovascular endurance through activities such as distance training that are detrimental for the performance of power athletes, rather than using other means of exercise. Performance decrements from continuous aerobic training can be a result of inappropriate neuromuscular adaptations, a catabolic hormonal profile, an increased risk for overtraining and an ineffective motor learning environment. However, long, sustained exercise continues to be employed at all levels of competition to obtain benefits that could be achieved more effectively through other forms of conditioning. ......."

If the result of your current fitness program is the ability to run around more but slower, you need to revisit what you are doing. The Elite Soccer Fitness Program uses shorter runs at higher intensity to develop aerobic qualities. You will do no long slow distance running in this program. 

Do you want to be a good marathoner or good soccer player. The body adapts to become good at running long distance not playing soccer.

The body will adapt both for and against you.  For example, if you lift heavy weights you will get stronger. If you never did anything but sit on the couch you will get weaker. 

The body has built in mechanisms that read what is happening and adapts to it.  Training for soccer is no different.  If you desire to become a great soccer player you don't go out and shoot 1000 shots with a basket ball.  The same is with your physical training.  Why would you go out and train like a marathoner to get into shape for soccer?  If you do long slow running you will become good at long slow running. The goal of soccer fitness is not the ability to jog around the soccer field for 90 minutes in a straight line. It is the ability to repeat short sprints at a high intensity for 90 minutes. Ultimately putting you in the right place at the right time before your opponent.    The Elite Soccer Fitness Program uses short burst activities, cutting actions and no long slow running.
