Review

I play traveling and high school soccer. My team has won two out of three tournaments so far this season, and we won TRAC last year. This year we are the most likely team to win valley. Our record is 14-0-4. The Ultimate Guide to Weight Training for Soccer has helped me so much. I have gotten faster, stronger, and I have gotten more confident because of this. In soccer you need to be mentally and physically strong, and your book really helped me get to the level I needed in order to make varsity as a freshman. Thank you! --Anisa G

As a high school coach for a low socioeconomic area in San Antonio, Texas, I have found your book to be the perfect tool to instruct students about proper weight training in soccer. My students are making excellent progress. --Coach Garcia

3.0 out of 5 stars OK, but not enough soccer specific....., July 12, 2009

This review is from: The Ultimate Guide To Weight Training For Soccer (Ultimate Guide to Weight Training: Soccer) (Paperback)

I'm looking for an up-to-date, soccer specific weight training guide, and checked this out of the library, hoping that it would be my choice. While it gives good generic weight training and programs, to my mind it did not include enough discussion about why the given exercises are recommended for soccer, as opposed to generic weight training, and there is no discussion about integration with other soccer-specific training, like ladder work, stairs, etc. There are a couple of chapters written by soccer trainers, but they seem disjointed form the rest of the book. So it gets a 3, being a decent weight guide, but loses 2 due to lack of soccer specificity.

i guess it's good if you're completely lost and want to get started on weight training or something. and i agree with markb57, the exercises offered are rather mediocre... nothing ultimate about it.
