How should I spend my summer training? Should I play more? Should I start going to the gym everyday? Do I need a personal trainer? Do I need a soccer specialty trainer? Where do I start?
Start here with this quick look into what the UNC Women’s team does in the gym. Soccer is an endurance sport with lots of dynamic moments.
What can I do at home? Touch the ball. Juggle the ball. Do one touch and two touch wall passes. Find a way to play soccer golf, learn how to drive the ball, hit a chip shot, perfect the flop with backspin. Yes learning to use your foot like a various golf clubs is an art.
If you are going to run, try the referee fitness test. It’s built around the type of running you have in a game–70 meters of fast running, followed by a walk to a timed track.
