Soccer Conditioning: Soccer ball Control and Soccer Agility

Atlskillz, back again to try and give all of my bloggers and people of interest a little insight into soccer fitness. Remeber that having a diet rich in the added nutrients of fruits and vegetables and proper conditioning can give you the fitness edge. Today I would like to focus on fitness directly related to ball control and agility. Below you will find some training techniques that i use to prepare for the next game:

1. 1-minute jog while dribbling a soccer ball with quick little touches, changing direction and speed. Do this in a confined space where many changes and touches are necessary.
2. 1 minute head juggling.
3. For 1 minute throw ball up in the air, jump and while you are in the air trap the ball with you chest, settle the soccer ball down at your feet, and then sprint of quickly with the ball still in your possession.
4. 1 minute foot juggling with no spin on the ball.
5. 2 minutes starting out in a sitting position, throw the soccer ball up in the air. Try and get up before the soccer-ball hits the ground. Settle the ball at your feet and move of quickly with the ball still in your possession.
6. For 2 minutes, get 5 to 7 yards from a wall and shoot the ball first time at the wall making sure the foot is positioned, knee over the ball, center of your foot is striking the center of the ball, and that all the power is derived from a quick snapping motion of the lower leg.
7. For 5 minutes back off 20 yards and shoot the ball first tie at the wall. strike the ball as hard as you can regardless of the bounce, height, speed, etc. that the ball is coming at you.
8. For 3 minutes get within 5 yards of the wall- toss the ball against the wall to force you to jump to head the ball back at the wall. Catch the soccer ball after you headed it each time. make sure your toss forces you to peak in your jump. Remember the proper heading technique and use power.

I hope that these drills help you with your conditioning and ball control. I know that it can be very hard to get things done when you work out by yourself. But to help out with this i purchased an Ipod. It is great for my work outs cause it keeps me motivated and my mind focused on the task at hand. the ipod also has all sort of accessories that will provided comfort and access while you are on your way to better soccer fitness. But remember everybody, a good diet full of fruits and vegetables and great conditioning will give you the fitness edge that you need to take your game to the next level.
