Pre Season Training Introduction.

Pre Season Training Introduction

This is my first post. I’m going to be writing and producing a series of Pre Season Fitness programmes to help you, the footballer work up and improve your fitness for the new season ahead. Hopefully these fitness sessions and guidelines will give you an advantage and the upper hand in training for your club.

I have devised very simple but effective training sessions which will improve strength, aerobic endurance, anaerobic work and conditioning.

Get a head start

A properly structured pre-season training programme can make all the difference to grassroots players and teams. Just don't leave it too late!

Your lungs feel tight and you're gasping for air. Your face matches this season's new red kit and your heart is trying to beat its way through your chest...

The first match of the season is just ten minutes old, and you're beginning to regret your summer sat on the sofa and playing video games, watching the World Cup and eating too many takeaways, eating  crisps and chocolate instead of fruit.

But this doesn’t have to be you. 

While kick-abouts in your local park with your mates can keep your fitness ticking over, it’s not a substitute for a properly structured pre-season training schedule.  

The idea of my training programmes is to devise a similar fitness session that an elite footballer would use to prepare for the season ahead. Instead of you sitting in the pub, watching tv, playing video games or going to the gym on a Friday night pretending to do a work out, you’ll be working your socks off and getting into shape.
