Getting your reps done no matter the subject is going to be pivotal for your potential. Whether those reps are intellectually or physically. They will build you up faster and stronger than you’ve ever been, so make sure to sculpt your drills to fit your play style ⚽️

Saturday started off perfect with a deep full body stretch and jog. Topping off the jog with a little bit of juggling to bring back mobility in the legs. Later tonight we’ll finish out with a juicy chest pump! How’s your weekend going?!

Happy Friday!! Using today as a recovery day. Simply stretching out and getting some fun cardio in instead of weights. Although taking a week off from juggling a normal ball can take its toll, enjoy my first touches of the day lol!

Let’s talk protein benefits 💪🏼 We all know protein is good for you but why? No matter the exercise, your body creates micro tears in the muscle. The faster you replenish that muscle with protein and amino acids, the faster that muscle can repair and build itself back. Don’t forget your post workout protein shakes! 💪🏼😤

At first I got a mini ball thinking it was for fun. However, I found myself getting close to a few thousand touches a week! All because it was right at my feet and easy to play with around the house. All I can say is if a soccer player keeps one of these in his bag, you know he’s a baller!

There’s only two specific times for cardio, either in the morning and weights at night, or cardio after weights and here’s why: Cardio burns your body’s glycogen reserves extremely fast. So fast that your body is left with no choice but to tap into fat. When you workout with weights, it’s crucial your body has lots of carbohydrates (glycogen) to use. Otherwise you’ll fatigue extremely quick, and won’t be able to hit as many high intensity sets. This reasoning alone is why I prefer them at different times.

“It’s not the destination it’s the journey.” The beautiful part about the game is it changes rapidly. Whether it be a team’s play style, improved fitness, physicality or a new idea implemented. The game will always develop, but don’t forget to train the basics, it’s the most important part.

One of the most underrated forms of cardio: dancing. Spent a couple days with no cell reception dancing my feet away as a little vacation. DM me what you did this weekend! 👀

Medicine ball crunches: By far one of my favorite ab exercises due to its full range of motion, tight contraction, and ability to hit all abs evenly. Whether it’s after a workout or run, this is a great way to finish out the day.

Play styles: Every player has their own strengths and weaknesses. Build your arsenal of a couple solid skill moves, then practice and perfect them for games. We can’t all be Ronaldo, but we can be calculated.

Nothing like a quick home leg workout. If you have spare weights or a house hold item that’s heavy enough, grab it and hit some lunges! They’re a great lower body exercise for glutes, quads and even core development.

Cardio to start the morning off has been one of the biggest game changers to improving day to day functionality. Something as simple as a 10 minute long jog can significantly improve respiratory health & overall fitness.

A large part of dribbling is keeping the ball extremely close to you. Some players will pass the ball in front of them then catch up to it. This is good if you get passed the defender, but small calculated touches will do you much better!

Got started right with some morning cardio and am finishing out with a heavy leg day. Let’s kick this week’s butt (literally)!! ⚽️

Nutrition: Throughout my weight & strength gaining journey I’ve dialed down on 3 important words. Proteins, carbohydrates & volume. Arguably the three most important words for health and fitness overall.

Got a quick cardio & tanning session in before tonight’s leg day. Focused on some high intensity dribbling with quick changes in direction. The goal is to recreate a game like pace in a close quarters environment so you can always be prepared ⚽️!

Gloves are a very important: certain gloves have a better advantage over others such as finger flexibility or safety guards. The fact that certain gloves can hinder your performance as a goalie could make or break a goalkeepers performance. Don’t forget to evaluate all your options when gloving up 🧤

Throw ins: An important part of the game. However, with enough power it becomes a deadly part to the game. With some players able to throw close to 30 yards. It goes from putting the ball back in play, to setting up an attack on goal.

Switch your scene up! Whether it be your room, a vacation, a new workout or just a different route to work, shocking the mind is a powerful force. It forces you to adapt, think differently, and become better equipped for the future. Stay frosty! 🥶

Abs: They can be hit from anywhere, and at any anytime. Your core is a vital component that’s either with you, or against you. The beauty in soccer is it’s a game of creativity, and that means lots of agility work and direction changing. Hit a 5 minute plank with me post workout! 🥵😤

There’s one superpower we actually have the consistent ability to grow: Strength. As you stay consistent in any physical field, you’re going to develop muscle to handle that motion next time around. We’re apex predators built to adapt, stay active! 💪🏼😤

The mini ball is better than a normal size 5 ball! ⚽️ Here’s my reasoning: your margin for error is significantly smaller, so every touch has to be extremely precise. This will force you to adapt, increasing your probability for success with a normal ball.

After a nice abs and cardio day, I took to the patio to bust out a lower body burnout, then finished with some stretching. People think you have to have a gym in order to workout but that’s wrong! Anything you do that gets your heart rate up is good! Also Ignore my non matching socks 😛😂

If you want some extra work on your calves and speed, try doing some sand exercises! With an unstable floor beneath you, your calves will go into overdrive to keep you upright. My particularly favorite exercise would be sprints.

Boulder shoulders: This goes out to my soccer players who in another life should have played football. Working on building your shoulders especially as a soccer player is super important. That’s your main shield against an opponent and the ball. The more solid your shoulders are, the percent of players who can body you off the ball drops drastically.

Warming up for a meannn leg day! If you’re anything like me, I can’ttt do cold gyms, I need a warm environment that’s going to make me sweat. For a warmup I do some quick stretches then jump into a jog for 2-4 minutes. This will get your heart rate up, and prime your body for the workout to come.

Legs can be tight at any time and any place, luckily stretching is available at any time and place. Even if it’s a work environment, public setting or even just your own home. Cultivate a little bit of time a day where you focus on only you. You deserve it.

It’s almost Friday!!! Got my touches in for the day, and got some sun in the process. Focused on connecting my touches, stretching out, and put attention towards comfort on the ball ⚽️.

The quicker and cleaner your passes get, the easier working with teammates becomes. Ultimately if your passes aren’t reaching directly to your teammate, that’s an inconvenience for them. The best players are identified by who the most quick, calculated and composed players are with the basics of the game. Stay on your toes!

What do we think? Basically Toni Kroos right? 😎 We all have our favorite players and teams, but let’s not forget the big picture. We love the game even more! I’ll be posting several teams, jerseys, and players, but just know regardless of who I may post or show off. I respect all players and will never try to say one is better than the other!
