Hey I am 14 years old and weigh 171 pounds and i am 5"6 and will be turning 15 this coming September. I am not obese just a little bit chubby. I have been playing soccer from the age of 3. Now as I grow older I want to get in shape and have more stamina. I currently play striker and this season I have scored many goals. But even though I score many goals my weight and asthma have been affecting my body and my questions are:

For a 14 year old how do i train physically for football as in weights exercise. Is there specific kind of exercise for being a striker?

And if I do workout will my asthma dramatically decrease?

Please I just want some answer and if you do not have anything to help in this topic please do not post.

Run as much as possible, but don’t overdo it since you have asthma. Combine long-distance jogs with wind sprints. Spend an hour or so on the bike at a time (2x a day) this will help drop weight and also increase your stamina

As for weight training do as much as possible with your legs…squats, leg machines will help build your leg muscles and give you more power in your shots. Talk with your high school gym coach he can provide you with a regime to follow. Use light to medium weights and increase your repetition as opposed to using heavy weights with low reps. You will builld more muscle this way and won’t tire out as easily.

If you want to combine both cardio and weight workouts, strap ankle weights on and run steps.

Hopefully this gives you a starting point and helps what you were looking for
