Build Up Your Stamina!

Uncategorized,

Another obvious thing that all soccer players need is stamina to keep up with opponents during games! JP Sousa, head coach of CUA women’s soccer, is a huge advocate for stamina. If you want to play at CUA, building up your stamina is key. The following work out that I am providing is one of the summer workouts we do that come in our workout packet.

BUILD STAMINA BOX RUN

Set-UP

  • Make a rectangle with 4 poles or cones. If you have the space, make it 50 yards long and 15 yards across. Then position the 4 poles or cones in a zig-zag arrangement at 20 yard intervals down one of the long sides.

The Drill

  • Run the course for 4 minutes, walking along the halfway and goal-lines for recovery. Work out at max intensity for the rest of the exercise. See how many laps you can complete in this time. Do this 3 times.

Progression

  • Do it with the ball at your feet.
