Soccer is the nation’s most rapidly growing sport and its level of competition continues to grow. Because it is so competitive, players need strong, refined athletic skills to perform well. The greatest difference between average and premier soccer players is their ability to execute the skills of the game with speed.
Playing the sport well requires explosive dynamic athletic activity. In terms of speed demand it requires short, quick bursts and flat-out straight ahead sprints. To complicate matters athletes must have the agility to perform ball-handling skills in an evasive and defensive manner.
