The book Strength Training for Soccer, developed with the expertise of the American Society of Muscle and Strength (NSCA), explains the importance of resistance training for soccer players. The book—supported by practical experience and evidence-based training methodologies—provides a general biomechanical analysis of soccer and a detailed examination of the physical demands of each position: goalkeepers, defenders, midfielders, and forwards.

Using these analyses, you can design an effective training program that translates into improved performance on the field. The book also offers:

• 10 detailed protocols for testing strength, power, speed, agility, and high-intensity aerobic capacity of soccer players
• 6 full-body exercises with 4 variations
• 11 exercises for the lower body with 23 variations
• 18 exercises for the upper body with 44 variations
• 22 anatomical core exercises with 32 variations
• 27 sample programs for resistance training outside the competitive season, preparation period, competitive season, and recovery period
