Soccer Fitness and Conditioning Training
When it comes to soccer, natural ability is great, but to get that winning edge you need to train for it. Fitness and athletic conditioning play a major role in your performance on the field. Many players mistaken believe that endurance training (such as running) is the only type of physical conditioning they need to do. However, other important elements of fitness must be trained to be the best player you can be. Think of what’s actually involved in the game… you’re not just running, you’re also jumping, sprinting, jogging, lunging, squatting, maneuvering, guarding, heading, and more!
Top Form Conditioning for Soccer is a group training program that progressively develops overall strength, speed, power, and agility. Basics of nutrition and mental conditioning are touched on as well.

Hi Josh,
Excellent post. I agree 100% with your approach to soccer training. Unfortunately there are still many misinformed and well meaning soccer coaches who have their players do 30-45 minute steady state cardio runs.
Cheers!
