Why Train? Optimize Performance Decrease Injury Increase Fitness
Common Soccer Injuries Hamstring/Quad/ Groin Strains Shin Splints/Medial Tibial Stress Ankle Sprain Knee Sprain Concussion Facial Laceration Thumb sprains (goalies)
Program Development Have a plan Define goals Sport analysis, demands of the sport
Components of Conditioning Periodization Muscular Strength Muscular Power Muscular Endurance Agility Speed
Periodization Periodization is an organized approach to training Progressive cycling of various aspects of training programs throughout different times of the training period Alternates training in order to peak during in-season
Periodization Schedule Post Season: Rest and recover; light training, end of season to about 1 month out Off-Season: Heavy lifting; building foundation, up to 6-8 before the season Pre-Season: Speed, agility, endurance, and some skill work, 6-8 weeks before up until the start of the season In-Season: Maintenance and skill work
Muscular Strength Muscular Strength: The ability of a person to exert force on physical objects using muscles ex. Bench Press Strength affects speed, balance, shielding, dribbling, headers and shot power
Muscular Power Muscular Power: The ability of a muscle to exert a max force in the shortest period of time ex. Vertical Leap Power can easily be confused with strength Soccer Power mostly refers to shot, header and throw power
Muscular Endurance Muscular Endurance: The ability of a muscle to sustain repeated contractions against a resistance for an extended period of time. Match 80-90 min Poorly trained athletes loose focus Injuries Poor performance
Agility Agility: The body’s ability to change positions efficiently Requires the integration of movement skills using a combination of balance coordination speed reflexes strength endurance stamina
Speed Speed: The ability to move from one point to another in the shortest possible time. Adapt fundamentals to include speed work (tackling, dribbling, shooting, crossing)
In-Season Training Objectives Maintain conditioning for upper-classmen Improve athleticism for freshmen or redshirts Gains made during the off-season needs to be preserved
In-Season Training Objectives Focus: Overused muscles rested Less activated muscles stimulated Injury prevention Sport specific strengthening Flexibility
In-Season Training Objectives Quality and consistent Backbone of long term success Its easier to get stronger in the next off-season when you maintain during the in-season, rather than spending time regaining lost strength
In-Season Training Objectives Work on upper/lower body strength and power in-season Distance running should be used sparingly Soccer is a game of short bursts of speed
In-Season Training Objectives Cardio/aerobic conditioning should be done through sprint drills, speed/agility drills and interval training This will reduce the risk of injury and train fast twitch muscle instead of slow and have your players training in a more typical game simulation.
In-Season Training Objectives No if’s and’s or but’s, as a “general rule” no optional workouts no choices of lifts performed no phantom injuries that mean they can’t lift Easy policy, If you didn’t have to talk to the athletic trainer, you weren’t hurt. Too injured to lift too injured to play.
THE PROGRAMany well designed program contains the following components Dynamic warm-up/ dynamic flexibility Balanced core work Plyometrics (upper and lower) Movement training/speed/agility Explosive movement (olympic/jumps) Squat movements (2 and 1 leg) Upperbody push Upperbody pull
Scapular stabilization Rotator cuff endurance Glute activation and hip stabilization Calf/anterior tibialis strength Conditioning Tissue quality/length (foam roll MR/stretching)
When to Train? When ever you can Always allow at least 36 hours from the time of workout to the time of next game 1-3x per week Higher intensities but lower volume
Warm Up Increase muscle temperature Increase blood flow Increase oxygen to working muscles Improve flexibility Avoid injury Mentally prepare for play
Dynamic Warm Up Why and How? Competitive edge Sport specific warm ups should have similar movements to the game The warm up should be progressive.
Dynamic Warm-up Continued Create functional mobility through full range of motion and in all three planes of movement Integrate and progress with increased ROM into more dynamic movement patterns The final progression is a transition to movements closer to game speed and game movements
Sample Dynamic Warm Up Low intensity jog Foam roll or Ball MR Walk lunge with knee pull on toe Monster walk T walk with quad hip flexor pull Inch worm Lateral lunge with foot drag Hurdle walk forwards in/backwards out
Sample Continued Hip circles Butt kick – jog High knee – jog Skipping for height with high knee Skipping for distance with leg thrust Jog to diagonal sprint through small space
