The wider the base - the higher the top

What has always been "common knowledge" in architecture and becomes clearer from round to round in the tower game "Jenga" is establishing itself rather sluggishly in sports. In modern soccer, too little attention is still paid to a broad athletic base.

What follows are injuries, dysbalance and a limited performance potential. We will show you how you can work on your ideal foundation through specific training during the winter break - so that you can really ignite after the second half of the season.

Much does not always help much - also in your training during the winter break

As we mentioned in Part 1 for the perfect training for soccer players during the winter break, you should first enjoy your hard-won winter break. Get physically and also mentally fit and ready to perform again. However, many players run the risk of stretching out this period like a balloon - until it pops. The loud bang usually comes in mid-January, when there are only a few weeks left until the start of preparation.

Too long a training break, too long endurance runs: longer is not always better. In the "worst case" it means for you injury break already in the preparation. This is anything but a walk in the park for your musculoskeletal system in winter: hard training sessions, freezing cold temperatures, little time for regeneration.

Only a prepared body can withstand this extreme stress.

The broader the athletic base - the higher the performance peak

More than 500 actions such as sprinting, passing, shooting, jumping or changing direction have to be completed by the modern soccer player. Statistics even speak of an increase of over 85% in sprinting performance over the last ten years. What you need as a soccer player to be fast and explosive in the spring?

A basic foundation of athleticism - and you can work on that now in the winter. The broader your athletic foundation, the higher your performance peak can be set. The GAMECHANGER gives you this basic athletic tool conveniently via app. Four strength units per week plus two additional mobility workouts mix your personal training cocktail - without umbrellas, but with a taste for success.

Training during the winter break as the key to success

But it's not just speed that benefits from "strong" athleticism - in the truest sense of the word. More strength gives you a more stable base position in aerial battles or ground duels, less susceptibility to injury, and minimizes the negative effects of muscular imbalances.

A soccer player's strength program should therefore consist mainly of functional exercises such as squats, lunges, push-ups, pull-ups, etc., because these also promote the interaction of small muscles.

The non-game time is the key to a season in top form - also for us. Only in this phase of the season can we work with you 100% on your goals. There is no need to consider game days or team training here. You, your athleticism and its improvement are the focus. Your game. Your decision.

 

You lay the foundation for the second half of the season in training during the winter break - we have EVERYTHING you need for this.
