 Many
athletes who play mens soccer do not know enough about off-season
training or nutrition that is best for the sport.
Here are some great tips on both subjects, helpful for
both coaches and players:
- Running. Each run should be at a 7 minute a mile pace maximum.
Time yourself and push yourself.
- Speed Work – 1 Shuttle = 10 yds. back, 20 yds. back,
30 yds. back, 40 yds. back, or variations of speed work that you
have done during the season. Short rest between sets. Remember
to face the same direction when you change directions.
- Plyometrics. You can be creative with this one! Vertical jumps
can simulate squats if you do not have equipment.
- WP = Weight Program. If you do not have access to weights,
pushups, pullups and dips are very important as well as plyometric
work.
- Hill Training is an excellent way to develop speed and strength.
- Situps(S) and Reverse situps(RS) done three times a week. S
= 50 x 3, RS = 25 x 3
Simple nutrition tips for mens soccer:
- Carbohydrates are essential for top performance and stamina
on the field. Do not be fooled by any of the low carb advertising!
As a mens soccer athlete, those eating plans should be strictly
avoided. A balanced diet of 55-65% carb, 10-12% protein, and 25-30%
fat, plus plenty of fluids, makes a great formula.
- A little protein a day helps to restore new fuel in the muscles
quickly and allows you to perform at maximum level when your body
needs it on the field. Where you get your protein is very important.
While most athletic diets recommend protein, few resources go
into detail about where to get your protein from. Meats are a
great source of protein, but also contain fats—which are
good in themselves, but there are good types of fats and bad types.
The best meat sources are: omega fats from fish (salmon), lean
ground beef and red meat (after fat removal).
- Drink lots and lots of fluids.
This is one plan that is recommended for mens soccer:
- Before the match: 16oz – 20oz water 2 hours prior
- During the match: 7oz – 10oz of Gatorade or similar every
15-20 minutes
- After the match: 20oz of water or equivalent for every pound
of body mass
