Total Soccer Fitness Training

Total Fitness E-book
As a coach (or a player), you already know that soccer fitness training has become a crucial factor in today's game and seeing professional players it's pretty much a necessity. Even players that don't have a naturally good build, like Lionel Messi, Ivan Genaro Gattuso or Cesc Fabregas are still very fit and more than make up in strength what they lack in size.

Ask any coach and he'll tell you that even if a player lacks natural talent, he can more than make up for this through great soccer conditioning and fitness and be useful to the team. One of the best examples that come into my mind right now is Javier Mascherano from FC Liverpool, who has himself stated that he is not very talented, but he makes up for this through his endurance and work rate, which are both effects of a good soccer conditioning.

I studied and used several soccer fitness programs throughout my playing days and I was curious to see how current players train for soccer conditioning, so I skimmed around the Internet for some information. As it happened, I stumbled across what seemed to be a solid E-book pack, called the Total Soccer Fitness. The main book in the pack is called Total Soccer Fitness and is written by Phil Davies, one of the brightest fitness gurus in England.

The main book in the pack is pretty well structured, which is a great boon today, when we're covered with messy books or E-books written in haste for the sake of profit. The first impression was good, but I was eager to get through the content fast.

The E-book is divided into several sections regarding soccer fitness and soccer conditioning, including aerobic endurance conditioning, strength and power, speed and agility, flexibility, warm-up and cool-down exercises and theory and a section that teaches you how to test you fitness' progress and results.

The book is sprinkled with tables and images that give you a clearer view on the exercises and everything is explained up to the smallest detail. The fact that similar sections are linked together (for example speed and agility or strength and power) is of great help in seeing exactly how these soccer fundamentals work together.

One other thing that I found extremely interesting in the book is that it doesn't give you the data just for the sake of it, everything is written from a player's perspective on the playing field. For example, one area of the aerobic conditioning section contained some very interesting information on activity breakdown during a full soccer match for players on different positions, based on several scientific tests.

So it was quite nice finding out that defenders can afford to walk on the pitch 36% of their playing time, while forwards do so only 29% of their total activity, or that a midfielder sprints for 11% of his entire running time, while a defender sprints for only 6%. It's details like these that make the E-book great and help put soccer fitness training into a match perspective.

The Total Soccer Fitness pack also comes with 5 separate free E-books:

Soccer Exercise Library	Total Fitness for Juniors	Total Soccer Nutrition	Total Soccer Psychology	Smoothies For Athletes

Basically what you have here is a coach's delight, since these books cover all aspects that you need to take care of when training a soccer player, in terms of soccer conditioning and getting them fit for match day both physically and mentally.

You can put to practice many of the fitness drills contained in the E-books and the results will be visible in a short time, because everything in the book is designed to be as effective as possible. Even if you're not a coach and you're simply a soccer parent, you may want to get this E-book pack for your kid, helping him get better at the game he loves.
