Fri, 11 May 2012 00:31:50 -0400

Even though many of us love to play soccer, for the most part we'll never make it to the big time. Keep your head up because you can still show off your cool soccer tricks and moves on the field. A word of warning, it is a good idea to master the basics first. As you master the basics, you can then take your game to the next level by learning some advanced soccer tricks.When we watch our favorite players on TV or in person we usually catch a glimpse or two of their best moves, ones they are known for. For example, most of us have seen Zidane's spin move. For the most part this is a simple move but don't let that fool you, it's very effective. Another highly popular move is the Elastico by Ronaldinho. The first few times he did the Elastico it caught the opposing team completely of guard and would eventually strengthen his legendary status.What we want to take away here is the fact that these stars didn't just learn or invent these soccer tricks and moves overnight.

Best Soccer Conditioning Drills

Wed, 09 May 2012 00:01:36 -0400

Conditioning plays an increasingly more important role in today's soccer, so if you ever want to become a pro, you'd best start working on your fitness and endurance levels from early on. Unlike popular belief, soccer conditioning drills are not just short-term, in that you can't "forget" how to be fit like many states. Indeed, if you stay off sports for a while and gain weight, or simply lose touch to your conditioning, you won't be able to run for as long a time as before, your muscles will be weaker and you won't have the same tonus. But you won't have to start from scratch all over again, because once you've trained using soccer conditioning exercises before, it will be a lot easier to step up and get to that level of fitness again. What's the best way to do this? It depends on one's constitution, but I will try to cover what I believe to be some of the best soccer conditioning drills, regardless of your build or natural fitness.Best Soccer Conditioning Drills - The Pine Tree Sp...

Coaching youth sports is a challenge. Most of our kids arereally happy to have us step up to the plate and coach and,despite the time we give up, most parents find the experienceequally rewarding. However, there are some major things thatevery coach needs to do and understand before they start theseason: coach with the proper attitude; coach with theproper fundamentals; and, learn and teach the differencebetween the 'Dad Hat' and the 'Coach Hat'.Coaching the Right AttitudeWe all love our kids and, let's face it; we also love playingsports with our kids. For me, it's the way that I spend most ofmy free time and it is right up there as one of my favoritethings to do.

So, what does this mean for us as a coach? We needto empha...

Sun, 15 Apr 2012 00:48:48 -0400

The question as to whether or not athletes in general and soccer players in particular, should be earning the kind of money they're earning is more vibrant then ever these days, with clubs paying their players incredible amounts of money each year.The comparison to other sports is also very relative. A gymnast will train all his life, miss out on a lot of his younger years only to be able to handle a world class performance, but he will still not win as much in his lifetime as one of the highest earning soccer players makes in a year. But that's the market's call and there's no "fair" in sales share.Getting back to our topic, it's somewhat difficult to judge exactly how much a player makes simply from his club salary, because many wage details are private, due to obvious reasons. As a club manager, you want to create complete harmony in your team and with all of them knowing that player gets paid twice as much as the rest, won't help you out with that.The highest earning soccer play...
