In addition, Soccer Conditioning with a Ball also features ‘soccer science’ articles on the latest sports science research on modern conditioning coaching techniques.

“No longer will you have to waste 10-15 minutes of training sessions working on fitness. Instead you can use this time to work on improving technical skills, and gain a double whammy of benefits from every drill”

The pace of modern soccer has rocketed in recent years. Players can run up to 10km per game, which is the same as running across 350 basketball courts or running a marathon every four games. Despite these vast distances covered every game, players need to continue passing accurately, defending tightly and shooting accurately for the full 90 minutes.

While fitness and conditioning gets a lot of attention at the start of the season, this focus can wane as the season progresses. Instead, more time is spent on technical areas where the team’s weaknesses have become exposed But this means that, whilst technical ability might improve, players can get tired earlier in games, leading to mistakes and games being lost in the final phases of the game.
