Weight training for soccer and track?

Posted by The Soccer Blogger as Soccer Training & Skills

What is the best weight training I can do for soccer and track? I play soccer year round (midfield) and run track in the winter and spring. I pole vault and run mostly 400m and 400 hurdles in track. I have the availibility of a weight room everyday with free weights. Any tips on specific exercises or lifting schdules to imporve in both sports?

I do alot of squats, leg extensions, leg press, e.t.c, some weight lifting and alot of running but I try not to do too much weight lifting because I dont want to get too big cause then it will slow me down.
