Chelsea Football ForumChelsea Football Forum. Discuss the Blues soccer. They have incredible talent and an imressive trophy case. They are however, seeking greater glory.
Top players cover miles of pitch in 90 minutes with few recovery
breaks. They must posses a broader range of fitness than almost any
other athlete. Fitness is so important in these players that a proper
conditioning program can more than make up for a lack of "natural
talent".
As for young players... most coaches shy away from soccer conditioning
for fear it will cause injury and hamper skill development. On the
contrary... a well-planned soccer fitness plan that meets the unique
needs of children and youths is the best way to prevent injury. Not
only that...
Helping youngsters to build all-round athleticism in the formative
years, gives them the very best chance of reaching their full
potential later in life. [Only registered and activated users can see links. ]
