Introduction
All right! So soccer season is right around the corner and you want to make sure that
you’re ready when try-outs roll around. Sounds like fun! Soccer is among the most notorious
sports in history, and although it traveled to the United States from countries on the European
continent (where it still holds the title of “football†rather than soccer, something that can be very
disconcerting for those used to the term football referring to something played with a pigskin and
slightly more violence than soccer) it has become one of the great American pastimes, along with
baseball and basketball.
Although it is not nearly as brutal as football soccer is still not for the faint of heart. It
takes a great deal of muscle and endurance to keep up when you are racing across a field as fast
as you can in an attempt to outrun the competition and take home the prize-in this case, the black
and white checkered blur that you see rolling down the field towards your goalie as the other
team attempts to gain their advantage.
If you have been an avid sports enthusiast all your life this
is probably nothing new to you; you already know how to keep fit so that you are prepared for
anything the playing field might throw your way. You probably make a concentrated effort to eat
properly and set aside a portion of your day to workout. There will be no surprises waiting for
you when you step out onto that field; as a matter of fact, if you have played soccer before you
probably know exactly what you’re getting yourself into and are wasting your time reading this
report!
On the other hand, if you are new to the game and physical activity has never really been
your “thing†but you have decided to give it a try you probably need to spend a little bit of time
getting yourself in shape. If this describes
you, it’s okay; don’t develop an inferiority
complex simply because you are afraid that
you may be a little bit behind the game. It
won’t take you long at all to catch up with
your potential teammates if you are willing to
put a little bit of effort into it.
Of course, simply knowing that you
need to put in a little effort in order to keep up
with your competition when the time comes
for tryouts isn’t going to do you very much
good; you need to know exactly WHAT you need to do to ensure that you are as prepared as you
could possibly be the first time you step out onto that field. (For reference sake, we are going to
assume that the reason you want to prepare yourself for soccer is so that you can be ready when
you go up against competition for a spot on the team for the very first time. We realize that this
may not necessarily be the case; there are a number of leagues that do not require that their
players audition, and if you happen to play for one of these leagues it doesn’t matter; the
information we are going to relay below is going to apply just as accurately to your situation as
well.)
In order to prepare yourself to play soccer you are going to have to build a fitness regime
based upon ten key elements:
1) You are going to need to build up the strength and endurance of your leg and arm
muscles in order to ensure that they will not falter halfway through a game and send you
sprawling on your face on the field with exhaustion.
2) You are going to need to improve your cardiovascular conditioning, making it easier for
your body to get the oxygen it needs to keep going and preventing you from becoming
tired too quickly.
3) You are going to need to learn what foods to eat and which foods should be avoided in
the interest of helping you to bulk up your muscles and decrease the fat content of your
body, making it easier for you to increase your metabolism and get in shape.
4) You will need to eliminate all habits which are negatively affecting your health from your
lifestyle.
5) You will have to establish a firm work-out routine that works all of your body’s systems
to their maximum capabilities.
6)You will need to stop eating certain foods that are touted
as being healthy for you but are actually only serving to
exert a negative effect on your body’s well being.
7)Throughout the course of your fitness training you will
discover that all of your body’s systems are interrelated,
and why it is therefore essential that you discover how to
achieve the best results from each one to help you to
perform at your best when you get out on the soccer field.
8) Of course, there’s more to getting fit to play soccer than simply getting fit. You need to
know how to play as well! We’ll give you a list of easy soccer related drills that will help
you to become comfortable with the ball and your role on the playing field so that you
will be prepared when you walk in on that first day.
9) As sports related injuries are incredibly common, particularly when you are playing a
contact sport like soccer which focuses primarily on a single location on your body, we
will briefly touch on the subject of injuries, playing while injured and how to rehabilitate
an injury to help you get out on the field as quickly as possible, and finally
10) The single most important part of playing any sport is to make it fun, and that includes
your workouts as well! We’ll show you a couple of zany activities which will help you to
get in shape while enjoying yourself at the same time.
