Soccer Conditioning with Ball
Week 8 - Day 1
Starting today with a 5 - 10 minute stretching routine to prepare the body for the high-intensity workout. After stretching, I move into three soccer drills to get the heart rate up and work on footwork simultaneously.
Soccer conditioning drills require mentality to push past limits and work harder as tiredness sinks in.

- (02:56) SKIP & FORWARD, BACK EXPLODE / 60 SEC
Following cardio, I move into soccer conditioning with ball control and getting the maximum number of touches through various soccer drills with the ball.
Soccer conditioning with a ball is more fun to do than without the soccer ball. Technique is more important than speed. Slow down and do it right before trying to do drills with speed. Soccer conditioning with the ball takes focus and patience to keep improving touches and fitness.

Soccer conditioning with ball finishes with strength soccer training focusing on core muscles using your body weight. Focus on your muscles and breathe correctly (inhale through nose, exhale through mouth). The final piece of advice is to push your limits past what you think they are. These exercises come to be more comfortable and easier over time.

Soccer Conditioning with Ball
Week 8 - Day 2
Soccer conditioning with ball 2nd Day starts again with 5-10 minutes of stretching to prepare for what's to come. Following stretching, I move into three soccer exercises to bring the heart rate up and work on faster footwork.

- (00:01) FOOTWORK SKIP / 60 SEC
- (01:16) CONE SKIP SIDEWAYS / 60 SEC

Day 2 has lots of soccer conditioning drills with the soccer ball: twelve soccer drills and 1000's of touches using both feet. All of these exercises can seem daunting and hard for younger players. Break the moves down into smaller steps or sequences before trying to do them at speed.
Short 30 - 60 second breaks in between the drills depending on the player skill and fitness level. Soccer conditioning with a ball is a great way to train touches, footwork, and fitness.

Complete today's soccer conditioning workout with strength training drills using your body weight. By the time I reach strength soccer training, my mind and body feel tired. It is up to me to keep up with the high-intensity tempo and finish strong. We can do so much more than our self-limits allow us to do, and its when you go against the little voice in your head telling you to give up where we find our strong selves.
