Components of Soccer Fitness
Soccer fitness is not just about speed because you need to have all the components of soccer fitness to be able to maximize your overall fitness level. This post may seem like a lot but as we continue I will break down each of the soccer fitness components into manageable pieces so don’t look at this list and say I will never be able to do all that.
In no particular order:
Speed
Agility
Quickness
Strength
Power
Metabolic Conditioning
Endurance
Nutrition
Rest & Recovery
Mental Fitness
Pre-Hab
Each of these components of soccer fitness play off of each other for instance less say you are fast when sprinting but your overall fitness level is low you may only be able to maintain your speed for a limited number of sprints….not a good thing if you want to play the entire game at the top level.
