HELPING COACHES TO HELP KIDS - Since 1930

Tom Brown | Sam Houston State University

In Tom Brown’s 11 seasons as head coach at Sam Houston State, the women’s soccer program has made impressive strides, becoming a force in the Southland Conference.

Behind a tenacious defense and strong finish to the season, Sam Houston captured its first 10-win season (10-6-5) in 2015 while making its first Southland Conference Tournament championship match in 10 seasons, before falling in penalty kicks. The Bearkats posted three clean sheets at the tournament, while finishing second in the Southland in goals allowed per match (0.83) and shutouts (9). On Oct. 30, Brown led Sam Houston to a 1-0 victory against Stephen F. Austin, ending the Ladyjacks' 32-match league unbeaten streak.

In 2014, the Bearkats posted their best season in league play since the program began in 2003. The Kats won a program-high eight games (8-2-1) in Southland play and finished in second place – also the program’s high mark. The team also set records for goals in Southland play (23) while sophomore Allie Johnson set the program mark with goals in five consecutive games.

Brown became the second head coach in program history on June 18, 2008. That fall, the Kats produced the team’s first winning season, finishing 9-7. Sam Houston set school records for longest winning streak (7), consecutive shutouts (7) and fewest goals allowed (17).

Under the direction of Brown, the squad has qualified for the league tournament eight of the last 10 seasons, advancing to the semifinals five times. Book this course today!

 Modern Ways To Find The Child's Natural Talents

• Author Amy W.

It does a lot of good if parents can recognize the talents of their kids at a very tender age. This way, the parents can guide them right from their young age to help the kids to attain the height of their career as early as possible. For all you know, the little child of yours may be the next American Idol or the next United States’ president. The earlier the telltale traits are recognized by parents, the better it is to nurture your child to achieve his goals and fulfill his talents. Be that as it may, parents need knowledge on how to recognize the talents of their kids at an early age. And that is the essence of this piece - to enlighten the parent about how to identify hidden talents in their kids. (Continued below.....)

(....Continued......) Accept the kid as he is

Many parents have dreams for their kids, but it is better to allow the kids to choose their own paths. The path chosen by the kid may differ from what you desire or expect as a parent. No matter how different the kid’s plans and opinion are about the future, you must be ready to accept him as he is and help him to nurture his positive dreams and goals. At times, it is not about what the society tells you or what you think that matters, but what the child wants to do or become. Do not compare your kid to another kid next door or your friends’ child. For all you know, the kid next door became what he has become because his parents allowed him to be himself instead of forcing their own perceived ideas on his poor, naïve and helpless mind.

Take time to observe

At times, the best way to identify the hidden talent in that kid is to watch him closely and allow events to unfold. Do not be too quick to sign him up for a football coaching class. Why not allow him to show traces of love for football first? Because you failed in your bid to win a gold medal at the Olympics does not mean you must force your daughter to get involved in sports and feature at the Olympics.

Instead of forcing the kid to tow your desired line, just sit back and be alert to possible signs of a career choice in him.

If your kid is always in the backyard kicking or playing with balls, or frequently drawing Craypas, this may indicate a possible interest in soccer. If your son loves to always bury his head in books or in the habit of building roads and castles with blocks, then you may have a building engineer on your hands. Do you find the child always counting objects, testing his math skills or finding patterns, then you may be grooming a mathematician or even another Albert Einstein right there in your home!

When you notice any of the behaviors above, you should buy supplies and materials that can help the child to groom his dreams and explore his interests further. You can go a step further by registering the child in an institution, class or organization that can help him to develop his dreams and goals in life. Membership of these organizations or attendance in such related classes can help determine if the child is interested in that particular area and also help him to get better at what he does.

Set him free

Allow your child to explore freely, and this can indicate what the child wants to do. Do not engage any trial and error method in discovering the interest of the child. Instead, set him free and let his behaviors determine what his talent is. Your kid will stumble upon his interests during exploration. Give the child ample downtime, and he can successfully develop a sense of wonder. It will leave him to decide for himself what he wants to do.

Do not expect too much

Not every child can start playing the violin like an expert from age four. Maybe the boy next door could pull off that stunt, it gives no excuse to expect the same from your kid. Research shows that kids only start reflecting developmentally on their future when they are in the middle school year. So expecting too much from your kid at a very tender age may yield no good fruit. Before the kid attains middle school years, allow him to explore all possible options, which will help him to make informed decisions about what he wants to do in the future. He can pick out his interest among the various activities you allowed him to engage in.

Foster a growth mindset

Your kids are more likely to try new things and take risks when they have a growth mindset. As a result, they can open themselves up to various possibilities of discovering that particular thing they are passionate about.

Conclusion

Parents should allow their kids to explore and discover their interests by themselves, but there are times the parent may have to give the child a push. A parent needs the discretion to know what to do at any particular time. The parent may have to give a push when the child seems to be giving up on a dream he had earlier developed a genuine passion for. Parents will be better guides for their kids if they are knowledgeable about what to do and when to do it.

Training A Soccer Player: The Basics.

ISSA

Soccer, or football as it's called outside of the States, is the number one sport in the world. Since the majority of the game is played without the ball, we will focus our discussion on training without possession...

Soccer, or futball as it's called outside of the States, is the No. 1 sport in the world. Even in the US, soccer is the most played sport in the youth age bracket. With the growing emergence of professional soccer and the youth of yesterday playing more and more today, soccer conditioning is quickly becoming big business for trainers in the know. So how do you train a soccer player? Long-distance running? Slow isolation movements in the gym? Quick short sprints? Plyometrics? The list of possibilities are endless, but the correct training protocol is not. First, let's look at how the game is played. A regular soccer match consists of two 45-minute halves with a 15-minute break in-between. Substitutions are less regular at the higher levels of play and like basketball, can only be made at the time the ball goes out of bounds. There are zero time outs for rest or strategy changing. The game also consists of four main position categories: forward (offense), halfback, fullback (defense), and a goalkeeper. It's obvious to those who have played or watched a full match that different positions require different energy demands and body compositions in order to excel.
Since the majority of the game is played without the ball, we will focus our discussion on training without possession and leave the ball skill up to the coaches.
The goalkeeper, hopefully, gets the least amount of action. They generally are coming from a state of standing still to going into an explosive movement. The energy requirements are going to be almost purely from the ATP/CP energy pathway. Therefore, it would seem having goalies run timed miles or "Cooper tests" is illogical at best. Explosive plyometrics, agility drills, reaction training, and Olympic lifts should be the bulk of a goalies conditioning routine. Obviously, a lower percent body fat will improve the likely hood of getting from one side of the net to the other (regulation soccer goals are 24 feet wide and 8 feet high).
Goalies:
Recently, I had a discussion with a local trainer who was bragging about his client's time in for the 40. He boasted he trained the goalkeeper four times per week and tested him for the 40-yard sprint every two weeks. I just smiled and walked away thinking "what a waste of time and money." While a fast 40 time is good and all, the goalie's box is only 18 yards off the goal line and rarely, if ever, will a goalie exceed that distance. An average sprint for a goalie would be about 10 yards. Therefore, why would you test their time during a 40-yard sprint? It just doesn't make sense.
This is why at higher levels of competition you do not see the goalkeepers conditioning with the rest of the team, but instead doing sport specific drills either on their own or with a goalkeeper coach.
Fullbacks:
A fullback also has most of his energy requirements coming from the ATP/CP energy pathway: about 90 percent ATP/CP and about 10 percent from the glycolytic pathway. Again, why would you train these individuals like long distance runners? It just doesn't make sense, yet this has been the bulk of traditional training routines for defenders in soccer. A defender must be able to summon quick bursts of speed, be agile, be able to react to someone else's movement, and be able to move someone else around physically.
Defensive Backs:
Generally, defensive players are the bigger guys and gals on the field. They must be able to manhandle the forwards as well as keep up with them on a speed basis. Fancy footwork isn't as important to fullbacks as quick reaction time and starting speed. When the ball is kicked over their heads, it is a dead sprint between them and the usually smaller forward to see who can get there quicker. Upper body strength to push someone off the ball or out of the way comes in handy. Fullbacks should be trained for starting strength, plyometrics, reaction time and total body strength. As with all soccer players, bulk isn't necessarily a good thing. More size usually means less speed, while more strength will generally mean winning more of the 50/50 balls.
Halfbacks:
Now the halfbacks; a halfback usually will do the bulk of the running. Since a soccer field is usually about 120 yards long, they travel over about 70 percent of that distance. The halfback will utilize about 60 percent of their energy from the ATP/CP energy pathway, 20 percent from the glycolytic pathway, and 20 percent from the oxidative pathway. The primary training consideration for halfbacks is anaerobic endurance. This is where longer runs coupled with sprints will actually come in handy.
Starting strength, non-linear speed, Olympic lifts, and anaerobic endurance should compose the bulk of a halfback's conditioning program. Again, leave the dribbling drills to the coaches and use your time to focus on conditioning.
Forwards:
With forwards you are going to have to think about who they are up against, the fullbacks, and what energy pathways they will primarily be utilizing. Forwards primarily utilize 50 percent of their energy from the ATP/CP energy pathway, 30 percent from the glycolytic pathway, and 20 percent from the oxidative pathway. Forwards must be able to sustain frequent short sprints and even longer durations of jogging than most other players-not to mention taking shots from the defense. When training a forward, the focus should be placed on SAQ: speed, agility, and quickness. Also, make sure that you are not training or conditioning any of these athletes in one plane of motion. Like most sports, soccer involves explosive turns and twists. Your client should be ready for movement in all directions.
Special Training
Special training considerations and individual specificity is beyond the scope of this article. Remember that these are generalizations and each athlete should be trained to meet his or her specific needs. As athletes progress through their sport, they further tend to specialize in their duty and/or position.
It is paramount that these consideration be addressed during the assessment phase of the training program. Also, remember that it's important to test and re-test to insure progress, but please, make the tests valid to the goal of the activity. Check back soon for more soccer training articles!
Thanks,

Sport-Specific Conditioning For Soccer: Train Like A Pro!

Soccer is one of the most popular sports in the world, with a growing number of soccer enthusiasts and players world-wide. Here's a closer look at the components of fitness and suggestions to organize your high-performance training.

Josh Hewett

Soccer (also known as "football") is widely accepted as one of the most popular sports in the world, with a growing number of soccer enthusiasts and players worldwide.
Despite this fact, strength and conditioning programs for soccer are often neglected or outdated. Except at the professional level, many athletes and coaches still focus only on skill development and endurance training (i.e. running), and ignore the other important elements of fitness such as:

• Strength and strength endurance training
• Speed and power
• Flexibility, warming up and cooling down
• Agility training
• Nutrition

Athletes of other popular sports such as hockey or American football typically understand the importance of a complementary strength and conditioning program (especially off-season) to improve their performance, but it seems that some soccer players don't believe that elements such as strength or power development are necessary for their sport. This couldn't be farther from the truth.
In this article I will take a closer look at the different components of fitness involved in this sport, and then suggest a simple way to organize your high performance training program. I will not be discussing skill development in this article.

Endurance In Soccer

A soccer fitness program should be built around developing a good aerobic base. Several studies into the physiological demands of soccer have shown that outfield players can travel up to 13 km or 8 miles during a 90-minute game.

Outfield players can travel up to 13 km or 8 miles during a 90-minute game.

This places a significant demand on the athlete's cardiovascular system and muscular endurance. Having said that, I believe this is one aspect of training that is already over-emphasized in this sport.
It's not uncommon to hear of soccer players running for at least an hour at a time several days per week in an attempt to improve their performance on the field. However, if you start to analyze the 'sport-specific' requirements of the athletes, you will realize that they are actually engaging in varying intensities of activity for different durations while playing, including:

• Walking
• Jogging
• Running
• Sprinting
• And in various directions.

Incorporating interval training into your program, that involves high and low intensities of activity, will provide better results than long duration, low intensity jogging alone.

Strength In Soccer

Strength is an important component of fitness that can benefit athletes in any sport, although it is often viewed as of little importance in soccer. However, strength forms the basis for power and speed. Soccer players also need strength to hold off challenges from opponents. Other benefits of strength training include:

• Injury resistance
• Leaner body composition
• Faster metabolism
• More energy
• Greater explosiveness
• Improved balance, stability, and agility
• Faster recovery

High level soccer players don't need to have the same absolute strength as American football players or rugby players, but a properly designed 'off-field' strength training program will definitely elicit improvements in performance! Relative strength is more important in soccer than absolute strength. Relative strength is simply your absolute strength in relation to your body weight.

Your strength training program should focus on compound, functional exercises (such as lunges, squats, step ups, pushups, dips, chin-ups), and take into account balancing the strength of opposing muscle groups (i.e. quadriceps vs. hamstrings).
Don't waste your time training solely on machines, and avoid useless, non-functional exercises such as leg extensions. The majority of your exercises should be ground-based, using bodyweight or free weights as resistance, and should involve movement of your full body.
Train all the major muscle groups, with emphasis on lower body and core.

Speed and Agility In Soccer

Another significant component of a soccer fitness program is speed and agility training. The speed of play in today's game is quicker than ever. While endurance and strength are very important to improving your performance, faster players have a definite competitive edge. You may have better endurance than the next guy, but if he makes it to the ball first it won't matter that you can run marathons!
A simple speed test is a sprint more than 30 yards from a standing start. You can try this yourself and have someone else time you. A sprint time under 5.0 seconds is good. Professional players average around 4.0 seconds.
Power is the combination of strength and speed. A more powerful player is a more formidable player. To improve your speed and explosiveness you should include power movements in your program, such as jump squats, high pulls, power cleans, and push presses, as well as plyometric drills .
Because it is important to have speed endurance, I recommend incorporating these exercises into a circuit training program with high intensity intervals. A typical workout would alternate between power movements for lower body and upper body, with plyometric exercises as intervals. You can conclude your training session with sprint drills and agility work (such as the 'ladder drill').

Flexibility In Soccer

Another important aspect of fitness to discuss is flexibility. Maintaining a healthy range of motion can be beneficial, however, few people understand the most effective methods of stretching or when to use them. Many athletes still do passive stretching before their workout or practice, when actually this can diminish performance and increase risk of injury!

The safest and most productive way to integrate flexibility training into your routine, is to do a dynamic warm-up (walking lunges, bodyweight squats, high knees, butt kicks, arm circles, etc.) before a workout, practice or game, and then spend some time stretching at the end.
Also, a better alternative to static passive stretching is static 'active' stretching (using your own muscular effort to hold the position). Read my article "Stretching: The Long and Short of It" for more information.

Nutrition For Soccer

I won't get too deep into the subject of sports nutrition here ... that's a whole other article. Suffice it to say that what you eat will directly effect your energy levels, recovery, performance and health. Here are some basic tips to consider regarding your diet:

• Drink A LOT more water.
• Eat 4-6 smaller meals / snacks each day.
• Eat after exercise, not directly before.
• Each meal should include: Protein, fuits and vegetables, Whole grains
• Starchy carbs (i.e.: pasta, potatoes, rice, bread, grains, etc) should be eaten after exercise, or the night before a big game, but otherwise reduced in your diet.
• No sugars, pastries, junk food, pop, chips, alcohol, tobacco, etc.
• Don't eat before sleep.
• Take fish oil daily.

The Program

Here is a simple way to organize your training, on and off the field:

Off Season:

Your off-season weekly gym program should include two strength training days (superset opposing muscle groups using functional exercises) and a speed/power day (explosive weightlifting movements in a circuit, with plyometrics as intervals), in addition to your athletic skill training/practices on the field.
Do some agility work and sprint starts at the end of your speed/power circuit. Then include 2-to-3 endurance/cardiovascular training sessions each week as well, running for about 30 minutes with short sprint intervals and hill running ... not just long endurance runs.

In Season:

For in season training, just reduce your training volume and cut back to only one strength workout and one speed/power workout per week. You can adjust the number of endurance training sessions as well, depending on the number of practices or games you have each week.

Adjust Your Training Depending Upon Practices Or Games.

Conclusion

Keep in mind that this is only a basic overview of high performance training for soccer. For a complete program design, and detailed explanation of these exercises, go to www.SoccerAthletics.com. It is a complete and comprehensive resource for soccer athletes. If you are in the Toronto area, you can contact me regarding group high performance training. Also check out my other related articles at: https://goto.bodybuilding.com/5NDB9.
I expect that you have found this article informative and that I have adequately explained why serious soccer players need to follow a sport specific conditioning program. My hope is that this will help you reach your athletic goals by training like a pro!
