Important discussion. I'd like to see you and Dr Sean Omara on the same podcast. He really emphasizes sprinting and nutrition in his messaging about performance, longevity and quality of life. btw, good interview from the No Carb Life.
Really helpful. My daughter is now eating much more healthy. This is what I told her. Eat well and healthy, train properly, and your body weight will settle were it is suppose to. Don't focus on weight.
Fantastic information. I’m learning from and can share with my players and parents I would like to include speed training within my football/soccer practices. We have 2 sessions a week. Ihr 30min on pitch . Plus 15min Strength session at the end of training With bands What speed exercises selection would you recommend? Listening from England 🏴
Thanks for the great video! I highly suggest fitboxing for aspiring soccer players. First, it gets you to cardio max quickly, and efficiently, so it improves in-game recovery, without risk of muscle injury. It teaches you where your limits are, and how your body reacts. Secondly, it engages whole body coordination to generate power. Surprisingly, the punching helps to educate your body about your arms’ role in power generation for kicking. It also develops weak side coordination, getting dozens of reps, which are isolated from ball play, so have less distraction. Would love to hear your thoughts/experience/knowledge about that!
Are there sports that are more complementary to playing soccer? My 13-year-old daughter plays club soccer 9-10 months a year; she is in the middle of volleyball right now but plans on playing for her school basketball, track, and soccer teams. She likes to compete, and I just want to shepherd her in the right direction. I want her to stay healthy so she can continue to do what she enjoys.
I think lacrosse, basketball, and sprints to mid distance track are amazing for soccer players. However, I say this with one BIG caution: DO NOT DO MULTIPLE SPORTS IN A SEASON. This also can result in overuse, so best to try in separate season, or when soccer is less competitive.
@@Fitsoccerqueen Thankfully, MS Basketball is during a slower time for soccer: the fall season is winding down and ends before the spring season. But this child is crazy, way too competitive. She watched her school's XC team at a meet and wanted to run because she "knew" she would take first. We don't push her. We apply the brakes. Just working on when to say no when it comes to sports. I think she is too young for weight training (13 and in 7th grade). What age is appropriate for training with weights.
Thank you! Applies to all athletes, all team sports. Conditioning can be accomplished within small sided and sport practice design for best use of time. Outside of that, players need strength, speed, and dial in nutrition.
If….if….. they’re conditioned already. However if they’re showing for a summer practice and they’re not already an all year athlete then something has to be planned.

Like the video if this helped!🎉
I agree with you, basically if you aren’t in shape right now for Seattle you aren’t going to be I shape for Seattle
basically!
Thanks for the great video!

I am about to start speed training my two daughters and I was wondering if it would be better to buy a free lap system or 2 gps trackers.
Great podcast! Definitely a video coaches should watch. Does this information also apply to male athletes (U14-U17)?
