Download or read book The Football Fitness Bible written by Matchfit Conditioning and published by . This book was released on 2020-08-19 with total page 272 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: *DO NOT BUY* THIS BOOK WILL BE READY TO BUY ON 30th AUGUST 2020.The book breaks down everything we've ever taught players about football specific fitness training and answers all of the training and nutrition questions we've received from players all around the world over the last 5 years. It uncovers the little-known training and nutrition strategies used by world class players, coaches and clubs. That's not all though, it's also a tool to awaken parents and coaches so that they can better support players and understand exactly what they must do and why to have a much greater chance of playing at the top level.When I hit the age of 16, I struggled BIG TIME with my form. I had already been playing at English professional club Wycombe Wanderers FC for 7 years, I was always captain, regularly playing up a year and starting to eye up the first team. Then BOOM, at a crucial time in my career I struggled with injury after injury, my fitness levels went through the floor (along with my confidence) and to sum up, I became a shadow of my former self. Worst of all, I had absolutely NO CLUE how to recover and get back to my former self. People were giving me mixed and unqualified advice from all angles. I became completely confused and wasted precious time and opportunities, which, If I had been handed this book back then, would have been resolved within minutes. To cut a long story short, I was sick of hearing from people who THOUGHT they knew what they were talking about when it came to fitness and nutrition (and prolonging my problems) and wanted to be guided by people who KNEW what they are talking about. But back then, these people were hard to find. That's why I not only decided to educate myself, but hand-picked a team of expert fitness and nutrition professionals to help me impact and teach players at a wider scale, to avoid the setbacks I experienced. From that point of view, this book has been 15 years in the making.No matter if you're currently an amateur, semi-pro or pro player, if you apply what you're about to uncover in this book you will take your performances to a new level which isn't possible by training your technical ability alone. Yes, continuing to develop your technical game is a crucial part of your success, you've got to have elite technical ability to stand any chance of playing at the highest level and a "football brain" which makes smart decisions on and off the ball. But what you're about to learn will further enhance the results of your training efforts and allow your technical and mental talents to flourish on the pitch to a much higher degree.What's in front of you right now is a wonderful opportunity to develop a highly influential aspect of your football performance which will directly influence the level which you are able to play at. Much of what you're about to discover is still overlooked, misunderstood and under-utilised by millions of players (by no fault of their own). A world class football athlete is pre-conditioned to be able to cope with highly demanding workloads season after season, whilst limiting the risk of injury setbacks from overuse. They possess the capacity to impact matches in the way that they wish to in their minds, rather than within the limits of what their bodies will allow. This takes years of compounding daily smart, science-backed training efforts and optimal nutrition to achieve.Our mission is to give you that knowledge. So that when the opportunity to play at a higher level comes knocking, you find the transition seamless and can do your footballing talents justice.

In this book, he explains how to create, organise and structure your football specific fitness training sessions. Periodization is the systematic planning of fitness training. This book helps you solve the problem of organising the training loads in order to achieve the highest team performance possible at the different stages of a season. Within this book we provide fitness training which includes practices that develop all the attributes needed for an individual and a team, such as warm ups with and without the ball, conditioning, technical, tactical, competitive small sided games, attacking, defending, the transition from defence to attack and attack to defence. The fitness practices in this book are very creative and aim to replicate competitive matches, so the players get used to making quick decisions and solving problems that arise during competition. Fitness coaches need to have a profound knowledge of the game, as all the practices in a session have to come together in a common way of thinking related to the tactical organisation of the team. It may be possible that in the following years the term fitness coach will lose all its value and will simply be replaced by coach or assistant coach.
