Soccer/Football is a sport that requires fitness, strength, and skill. Many athletes neglect to work on all of these aspects over the off-season, and as a result, they end up behind the other players when the season starts.
This 4-week program can be used over and over throughout your off-season and will target all the essential training areas.
