Posted by The Soccer Blogger as Soccer Training & Skills
I will be gong for a soccer tryouts by early january. Can someone please tell me how to keep my body in shape, what kind of workouts do i need, what and what not to eat, things to do and things not to do
thank you for your suggestions

1. CONDITIONING
the best thing to do its obviously run like a mile a day.. but if you live in an area that has a lot of mountains, joging up one like 3 times a week will help build your quads and hamstrings, and the stronger your hamstrings the harder you will be able to play long balls, finish (shoot) etc.
also, you want strong abs.
and finnally, you want to do a lot of squats, and to practice the correct way to jump and land. ( squats will not only help built your legs, but also increase how high you will be able to jump)
2. DIET
you need to eat plenty of protien, but mix it up between meats like steak and meats like chicken. each will give you various other nutrients you need in order to stay healthy. Also, protien shakes are good, the more muscle the better. as far as what not to eat, there is a list to long to make, but heres some: energy drinks, soda, greasy food ( the more extra fat you carry, the slower you run and you are more likely to get hurt), dont go on any kind of diet where you dont eat enough, pretty much if its honestly obvious its bad for you- dont splerge on it. it will become habit.
hope this helps. i have been playing for 9 years, and have been to at least 25 tryouts. 
{ most importantly, i make every tryout i go to, never been turned down and have 4 consecuative state champion medals 
}
