Flexibility Training
A modern soccer player has to have
the flexibility of a dancer, with the speed of the
modern game
increased dramatically, because of rule changes (the
no back pass rule), which has made the game
much faster.
The
modern player has to adjust quicker, to even more
and more extreme positions.
The speed of the modern game is
totally different from 40 years ago, and in 20 years
will be unrecognizable from today, but how? Find out
when you explore this section of the ICA Fitness and Conditioning
for Soccer Course.
