TESTIMONIAL
"I played professionally for a number of years both in the U.S. and abroad. I currently coach at St. Joseph's College in Indiana and have used TSF as a guideline to develop a fitness manuel for the program.
Last year was my first season there and both teams had no previous training program and were clearly unfit. I like how TSF very clearly lays out the various stages of the year round fitness program, and explains the signifigance of each step.
With my experience as a player and as a fitness nut I found more truth in TSF than any other fitness manual."

"I bought Total soccer Fitness for my 16 year old son who is desperate to play professionally. He is very enthusiastic and took on board the principles in the book. He trains most days, either on his own or with his team and I know he is making great progress.
We don't know if he'll ever realize his dream of playing at the top level but this resource gives him the best chance!"

TESTIMONIAL
"The book has been very helpful, particularly the exercise programs. I am working with my 11-year old daughter and seven of her teammates during the offseason on a speed and agility program I put together from your book. I designed four different 1-hour sessions that I rotate between.
The girls really have fun with the workouts, but it's too soon to tell whether it will improve their speed or quickness (We did a baseline test before we started the workouts, and I will test them again after 12 weeks to see if there was any progress.) I'll let you know if there is an improvement from the baseline tests as a gauge to the effectiveness of the workouts."

TESTIMONIAL
"I have applied the principles in Total Soccer Fitness for over a season now. Last year was our best ever and was due in no small part to being a very fit team. My players not only seem fitter but are more skillful yet we do very little skill work with them. Many of our players have said they feel like they can run all day and we've even have some slow players who yu would now call quick. Total Soccer Fitness is very well presented, very professional and very effective."

How to Give Young Soccer Players The Very Best Chance to Reach Their Full Potential... And Enjoy a Happy, Healthy Career
Are You a Soccer Coach or Parent?
Learn Why Athletic Development is JUST as Important as Practising Technique...
And Why Neglecting This Area is a Grave Mistake
- A unique conditioning system designed to develop injury-free, well-rounded young soccer stars
- Dozens of fitness programs, sessions and drills split into the three key age groups - examples that apply to your situation
- How to avoid the dangerous, career-shortening pitfalls that many enthusiastic coaches and parents are unwittingly promoting already
It's a controversial topic isn't it -- fitness training for juniors and youths. After all... the formative years should be about skill and technical development right? No time for fitness. They can worry about that when they're older.
And then there's the scare stories... like "strength training in juniors can stunt their growth" or "too much running will cause stress-related injuries in growing bones".
Yep, it's easier to conclude that children are naturally fit -- that it's best to leave well alone and not take any undue risks.
But there's a BIG problem with these misguided beliefs...
Soccer, at any age is a physical game. It involves running. It involves twisting and turning. It involves jumping and kicking and tackling. And as young players mature, the stresses and strains of the competitive environment become greater and greater.
Not only can conditioning for juniors and youths be perfectly safe, done correctly it's the best way to prevent injury and set up a long, successful career.
In fact, what I hope to show you is that if you fail to take the same structured approach to a youngster's athletic development, as you do to their technical development, they may be plagued by nagging, recurrent injuries and become disillusioned with sport.
Of course, you probably already know how to address the unique needs of young players when it comes to learning skill and technique. There are guidelines and advice aplenty in the many hundreds of soccer coaching books and resources. You have to know these "coaching rules" inside out if you want to get formally qualified.
They are NOT mini adults. You can't simply take an adult's training plan and water it down. Unfortunately, the coaching books that do touch on fitness for soccer nearly always focus on adults (or over 16's)... and even then it's usually just an afterthought.
It's little wonder that most coaches avoid planning a conditioning program for their junior players!
But here's an incentive: the very small minority of young athletes who are fortunate enough to be given a well-planned, long-term conditioning program often go on to excel in sport. They reach a higher peak. They stay injury free and foster character traits of discipline and confidence that will stand then in good stead for the rest of their lives.
A little over two years ago I wrote Total Soccer Fitness -- a comprehensive conditioning system that blends proven sports science with practical drills to produce super-fit soccer players. And do you know what question I've been asked more than any other since it's release?
"Is Total Soccer Fitness suitable for junior players?"
And my answer (until now) has always been no.
Like the vast majority of fitness and conditioning resources, Total Soccer Fitness was written entirely with adults in mind. But you can't simply tweak its programs and sessions for your team of 11 and 12 year olds. Nor can many of principles be adopted by 15 and 16 year olds... even those who have developed early...
So I developed Total Soccer Fitness for Juniors. It's fastest way for coaches and parents to learn how to safely and effectively condition young soccer players...

Remember, you won't find this information in coaching manuals - they only pay fitness a token acknowledgement. And those resources that really do address the conditioning needs of soccer, do so from an adult's perspective...
As a coach or parent, soccer has probably already cost you a small fortune - kit, apparel, subscription fees, training equipment... the list goes on. A proper conditioning program will do more for a player's development than all of these. And unlike the latest pair of soccer shoes, you can test Total Soccer Fitness for Juniors risk-free for 8 weeks. If you don't feel it's good value for your investment, simply ask for your money back.
