SOCCER
The world's most popular sport. A game of constant movement and change-of-direction. Speed and power are required to excel. Players continually accelerate, decelerate abruptly, perform uncountable movement patterns, and all are done in an intense aerobic state. You better be fit and skilled if want to succeed.
Do the previous words sound familiar? Soccer is a vest opportunity. A tool to augment endurance speed training. A method of adding power for acceleration. And certainly, a modality for strengthening its many movement patterns,performing the job of supplying functional loads that do not interfer with fundamentals and augment balanced stop-n-go action. But.....
Our ignorance of the games nuances is confessed. We must defer to folks who are in the know. Our users. Now, granted we don't have a tremendous following (in numbers) but this makes too much sense to ignore.
European squads have use vestload training for years. Recently, SmartVests were delivered to a team in England, in the area of Manchester. We've been told they know a little bit about the sport. Both men and women are using the SmartVest to prepare their game for the field. We have a gentleman who was a conditioning coach for a MSL team who trains his daughter with our vest. We heard she received a scholarship to play soccer at a D-1 school. Her hard work and dedication will bode her well.
Recommended videos and programs serve as excellent sources for functional conditioning, as well as soccer speed, agility, strength, and stamina workouts. Many of these soccer specific drills are naturals for sport loading. Use common sense, good guidelines, progression, and a high quality product. The same principles are applied: sound fundamentals, good technique, repetition, and sport specific application.
We're going to make an effort to enlighten ourselves and in turn open doors for our customers. Updates to this section will be forthcoming. Please, coaches, players, parents, and soccer fans that have application suggestions or usage experience - allow us to share your much appreciated input. It will help us all. You can be assured we will do our best to supply the most effective on-body resistance products available. Take care.
