Soccer Fitness Drills
Fitness and conditioning is a critical piece of soccer as the entire game
is that of continuous running mixed with a lot of short bursts of high tempo, high-intense
sprints. For this reason, it is essential to focus on both anaerobic (short
duration, high intensity) and aerobic (running long distances) fitness to get
your players to match fitness levels.
Soccer Fitness and Conditioning During Drills
Fitness and conditioning can be extra exercises before or after training sessions.
However, incorporating high-intensity drills will allow coaches to improve your
player's fitness levels while teaching the game. As a coach, remove lines from
the training sessions, demand high intensity from the players, and take your
drills and the player's fitness to the next level.
Soccer Fitness Drills Requires
- Anaerobic fitness - exercises defined as short duration of high intensity excercises.
