This package includes the following:
  • Strength Training for Soccer ebook
  • Online study guide
  • Online continuing education exam
Developed with the expertise of the National Strength and Conditioning Association (NSCA), Strength Training for Soccer CE Course explains the value of resistance training for soccer players. The book—backed by practical experience, evidence-based training methodologies, and research—provides a general overarching biomechanical analysis of soccer and specific analysis of the physical demands of each position: goalkeepers, defenders, midfielders, and forwards. Using these analyses, you can design an effective training program for your athletes that translates to performance on the field. The book also offers the following:
  • 10 detailed protocols to test soccer players’ strength, power, speed, agility, and high-intensity aerobic endurance capacity
  • 6 total body resistance exercises with 4 variations
  • 11 lower body exercises with 23 variations
  • 18 upper body exercises with 44 variations
  • 22 anatomical core exercises with 32 variations
  • 27 sample programs for off-season, preseason, in-season, and postseason resistance training
Each resistance training exercise consists of a series of photos and a detailed list of primary muscles trained, beginning position and movement phases, breathing guidelines, modifications and variations, and coaching tips. You’ll also learn proper exercise technique and gain a deeper understanding of what muscles are involved in each exercise so you can develop a complete and targeted resistance training program.

Once you complete the course and pass the exam, you can print a certificate for continuing education credits.
