How To Make A Workout Schedule For Soccer Players

Hi, my name is Matt Stigler and I am a pro footballer (or soccer) performance coach. The whole goal of this channel is to bring you guys pro footballer level athletic performance advice that I couldn't afford and didn't have access to as a kid completely for free.

If you want to maximize your potential on the pitch, by becoming as fast, fit, powerful, explosive, strong, and injury free as you can be, then I would love to help you get there!

Having a good schedule is probably the most important thing when it comes to individual training for footballers so we really appreciate this video Matt!

Hi Matt,

Great video! I really took a lot from it.
My off season schedule is below. Could you take a look and see what you’d change, or suggest.

Monday: Fitness Am, Gym PM
Tuesday: Speed
Wednesday: Gym
Thursday: Rest
Friday: speed
Saturday: Fitness AM, Gym PM
Sunday: Recovery

I was also wondering what are some of the ways I can speed up recovery in season when playing 2 matches per week, most week.

Thanks man, keep up the good work!

I would like to get your thoughts on how to train the best way possible, when your between a 1. and 2. team. The 1. team match is most often one day before the 2. team, where you dont get minutes with the 1. team. You have to be ready to come in at any point with the 1. team, be ready for the 2. team game the next game, as well as getting a good training schedule for development.

Hey Matt love your content but I just want to know what exercises I should be doing I watch your videos and the exercises you tell us is just an exercise that you say is good but I would appreciate it if you made a video about the exact exercises we should be doing and what it trains

[DiogooPereira]

banger video, thank you matt, really helpfull!

My training sessions with the team are late in the day (usually around 9pm). I have work in the morning and my MSc. classes in the afternoon so I usually use the time in between them to hit the gym. Do you have any specific advice for someone in a situation like mine where gym sessions and field sessions are separated in the day?

Thank you and keep up the good work man! I have been learning a lot from your videos.

[benharder]

[sI_gMa]

Do you separate your off and pre season into different phases ? Meaning somewhat of a prep phase, followed by some anaerobic endurance phase, then hypetrophy strength, followed by strength power (pre season)and finally sports power phase (preseason and pre competition)

[Emil-cxpl]

Is it smart to do light techniqual work every day?

[Unver]

Should I do extensive plyo or heavy weight low reps the day before a game
