Recognizing your ability is so exciting to think of as a Soccer Player, whether progressing from one team to another, stepping up an age group, or receiving that call from a college coach. In the modern game, soccer players must make many demands and sacrifices to perform to their potential on the pitch. Today, most elite players cover between 7 and 9 miles per game, compared to a small minority of players in the 1970s, exceeding only 5 miles. Not only has distance covered dramatically improved in the game, but the game's speed has become so much more ballistic and powerful. It truly takes a conscience approach to get to the very top. Many top athletes utilize the 1% better everyday approach to achieve their objectives by implementing soccer-specific gym workouts to complement their everyday practices.
