As we all know soccer is a tremendously tough sport especially on the legs. To help get your players fast, strong, healthy with better balance and proprioception they need good single leg strength. 

Grab a stool that is about the height of the back of your knee. The stand in front of it and sit to the stool while just touching the stool with your butt but not putting weight on the stool. then right back up. If you can’t perform at least 6 good single leg squats like this you need to really spend some time with some single leg exercises.

If you having a hard time sit all the way on the stool then get into a position as if you had just squatted from standing, then just stand up. Repeat

This will get you started in the right direction to help with your single leg squats.

I am working on some pictures and videos so that you can better understand what i am writing.
