What are the best ways to get in shape for competitve soccer?

Question

I play competitive soccer, and I am weak. I need to know what specific excercises Will help meto get in shape for the upcoming season, and what drills will help me become more aggressive.

Answer 1

I would work your legs and your abdominals in the gym. Squats, power cleans and calf raises will provide explosion and power for your legs. This explosion then translates into speed adn quickness. Your abs are your central core power, strong ables will allow you to be more stable and more aggressive. Run a lot to keep in shape, when you are late in the game and are in better shape then your competition, you can dominate.

Answer 2

run for at least a half hour everyday and practice long distance kicks to get your legs strong. lunges and squats can help build muscle in your legs as well. also work on accuracy, and handling the ball. building your abs and working on your arms can help also... i suggest going to a sport's store and buying one of those ab wheels... NOT the ab slide, just a plain wheel (it works better because you have to do all of the work!). some places offer it for only ten bucks. to help become more aggressive, try dribbling the ball around cones, and then go against your teammates to help you learn to get past your opponents. the more you do this, the better you will become (obviously). good luck!

Answer 3

Lots of running. Get a friend to help you with ball handling. Strive for ball accuracy. Putting in where your team mate is going to be when the ball gets there.

Answer 4

Practice your shots and kicks and run everyday. Good luck

Answer 5

Jump rope, lift leg weights, go running....

Answer 6
