Soccer Training
At NX Level we work to develop sport specific power to help each individual athlete reach his or her performance goals. Power development is accomplished through speed and strength training.
Speed Training for Soccer
Specifically, a soccer player has to be able to decelerate to an athletic stance to receive a pass, immediately crossover and clear their hips to break away or be in position to take a quick shot. Deceleration is extremely important for female athletes in regards to knee stability and ACL injury prevention. Acceleration is key in getting up the field as quickly as possible or taking that first step to cut off an opponent and go for a steal. At NX Level we work to increase acceleration through:
• Sprint mechanic work up to 60 yards
• In and out sprints
• Plyometrics forcing knee drive and rotary core, glute and overall leg strength will improve shot speed dramatically.
Strength Training for Soccer
Point of contact can be seen or blindsided. You have to be physically strong enough to stay on the ball through traffic, hold your ground in front of the net, fight through a screen or head a ball. NX Level will use all full body lifts such as Olympic lifting, front and back squats, all angles of pressing with bars and dumbbells. These lifts enhance total body development, flexibility, and conditioning for the sport of soccer.
