Soccer in the purest sense is a team sport
- eleven individuals playing as one. That said, in the most fundamental
analysis virtually every game situation in some manner or another
involves a one-on-one competition —the player with the ball versus the
opponent who is responsible for defending him or her. These mini battles
waged between opposing players are vital links in the chain of events
that collectively determine the outcome of the match. Improving a
player’s ability to succeed in one-on-one situations is the primary
objective of Soccer Skills and Drills Vol. 1. “Winning the 1v1 Match-Up”
provides essential information and a series of exercises designed to
develop and improve a soccer player’s “tactical speed” in the 1 v 1
situation. Tactical speed refers to the ability to consistently perform
skills and make sound decisions under the match-related pressures of
limited time, restricted space, and physical fatigue. All elite players
and elite teams demonstrate a high level of tactical speed. Players can
improve tactical speed through competitive training coupled with a clear
understanding of the principles upon which players’ decisions and
subsequent actions are based. Individual tactics deal with principles of
attack and defense that are applicable in one-on-one (1v1) situations.

Protein,
protein, protein...are you getting enough protein? No matter your
diet—vegan, vegetarian, keto, paleo, Mediterrian or whatever else is out
there these days—one of the main questions when you discuss your
dietary choices seems to be: are you getting enough protein?
On one hand, it makes sense. Protein is a vital macronutrient
and one of the building blocks of life. On the other hand, sometimes it
feels like the whole protein discussion is intentionally muddled just
to scare people into buying shit they don’t need. So, we want to help
clear things up. For those of you who are wondering about the
differences between plant protein vs. animal protein, keep reading.
We’re about to clear things up. Let’s start with the basics. What Is Protein? A quick refresher on what protein is, and why it's important that you eat enough. Protein helps construct
your blood, bones, cartilages, skin and muscles. It also has a role in
repairing and maintaining your tissues as well as in the creation of
body chemicals such as hormones or enzymes. Protein is considered a macronutrient,
i.e. one of the big nutrients your body needs to survive (the other two
are fat and carbs). And get this, your body weight is made up of16% protein! Protein is comprised of different amino acids some your body manufactures itself while other‘essential’ amino acids require supplementation. Plant Powered Protein! We all know that defines animal protein, but what aboutplant protein?What plants are potently powerful protein sources?
Soy (edamame, tofu or tempeh)
Lentils & Legume (chickpeas or peanuts)
Seeds & Nuts (almonds, chia or hemp)
Vegetables & Fruits (potatoes, green peas, broccoli, kale, avocado or mushrooms)
Although many experts agree that a
diverse plant-based diet can provide you with proper nutrition, there is
one common misconception we would like to clear up, and that’s the
notion that plant-protein is incomplete
and needs to be combined in order for you to make up the protein quota
necessary for a healthy lifestyle. You’ll read nearly everywhere that quinoa is one of the only complete plant-proteins,
but the reality is that’s a big whooping falsehood. Rice is just as
complete a protein as quinoa or steak. Think about it: both are
‘naturally occurring’ the only difference is plant proteins have varying levels of amino acids.
But, you don’t need to worry about protein combining or adding animal
protein to make up for varying levels of amino acids. Everyday, our body
creates a reservoir of 90 grams of protein
that can be reassembled to patch any deficiencies. What this means for
those dependent on plant-protein is that when you eat a starch (e.g.
rice or potatoes) and then mix in your fruits and veggies, you’re
consuming all the nutrients required for robust health. In other words,
if you eat a variety of nutritious whole foods and don’t have any
preexisting medical conditions or an exclusive list of dietary
restrictions, you’ll likely be all good. If you need help getting a handle on how to make plant-based meals, grab our Nutrition Guide and Meal Plan.
This ebook tells you everything you want to know about proper, balanced
nutrition, and is suitable for vegetarians, vegans and meat-eaters
alike. It’s designed to help you feel more confident and comfortable
about your nutrition, so you can enjoy your life in a stronger,
healthier body. Plant Protein Health Benefits Vegetarians and other meat-free
diets, on the whole, experience these health benefits as compared to
their meat-eating counterparts.
Decreased risk of heart disease: A diet rich in plant-protein reduces cholesterol and blood pressure for an overall reduced risk of heart disease.
Lower body mass: Plant-based diets tend to be leaner. Eating nuts improves weight loss while consuming beans or legumes can help with weight management.
All these findings support a
plant-based lifestyle but keep in mind that research indicates that
vegetarians and vegans tend to be more health conscious in general, which in itself could explain why they experience such vibrant health. Animal Protein Animal protein and animal products
like cheese are part of an omnivore's diet and an excellent source of
protein. Unlike most plant-proteins, meat almost always contains all
nine essential amino acids.
Poultry (chicken, turkey, quail)
Red meat (beef, deer)
Fish
Eggs
Dairy (milk, cheese or whey)
Animal proteins are not only rich in
all the amino acids, but they also tend to have higher levels of
specific vitamins and nutrients.
Vitamin B12: Found in meat, fish and dairy. Vitamin B12 is a common deficiency for non-meat-eaters, which is concerning as B12 supports the formation of red blood cells, gives you energy, is heart-healthy and improves memory.
Vitamin D: Is more bioavailable in animal products and found in fish, dairy and eggs. Vitamin D
is best known for improving calcium and phosphorus absorption, but it
also can help with depression, weight loss, fights disease and supports
normal immune function.
DHA: An omega-3 fatty acid found in oily fish, DHA is not made by the body and is a crucial nutrient for brain, skin and eye health.
Heme-Iron: Found exclusively in red meats, heme-iron is easier to absorb and supports the oxygenation of blood cells.
Zinc: Found mostly in meat, zinc is an essential mineral (your body doesn't produce it) required immune function, growth and wound healing.
However, eating animal protein isn't
without its controversy. Red meat is a hot topic of debate in that many
emerging studies link regular consumption of processed red meats (hot dogs, lunch meats, dried, smoked or canned meats) to heart disease, stroke and premature death. However, sufficient evidence indicates that unprocessed red meats are exempt
from the above findings. The main concern with a diet rich in animal
protein is fiber intake. Plants are fibrous whereas if you're more of a
meat and potatoes kinda person you aren't likely getting enough fiber.
So heed our warning and be sure to take in some fiber from plant
sources! Plant Protein vs. Animal Protein: What’s The Difference? Protein is essential to life, and
animal protein is complete while most plant-proteins have incomplete
amino acid counts; but really what's important is that you get enough
variety and high-quality protein to guarantee your best health. Animal
protein has had it's credibility tossed into the meat grinder, that's
why we see a boom in vegetarianism. But is it necessary to give up on
meat if you don’t want to? Nope! The bad rep surrounds regular ingestion
of processed red meats, like hot dogs. Unprocessed red meat and poultry
don't have the same negative connotation, so both are solid
alternatives. At the end of the day, most of us are
lucky enough not to live in survival situations where we have to eat
whatever we can get our hands on. What’s more, with alternative
plant-based protein products and whole foods readily available at the
local grocery store, it is easier than ever to eat mostly or completely
plant-based diets still get enough protein. You don’t have to scour the
shelves in out-of-town speciality stores to find the flax or quinoa:
more often than not, it’s right there. Remember, if you need help creating the perfect nutritional balance for your lifestyle, pick up our bestselling Nutrition Guide and Meal Plan now.
