@tamfb

expand on what?

On usage of medium intesity tempo for conditioning purposes. What have you done and why, and when etc…

Games and training games develop SE for soccer

I do consider games as HI/MI load, but if this is the case, then only playing soccer would condition you the best, but this is not the case…
4on4, 2on2 etc is very gruelling most specific work whis is usually considered as SE (2on2, 1on1). Is there is need for 120m shuttles? Don’t know, but we did it… 2on2 is more simmilar toward RSA poligons… thus, this is why I included 120m shuttles

Here are some examples for SE training from FIFA manual. It involves various classification and drills… interesting manual… haven’t read it yet.

One of the athletes I coach plays soccer. He trains twice to three times a week with me and once a week with his soccer team doing skills and fitness on fridays and matches on sundays. We count his soccer training as a tempo day. He trained as a long to short athlete last year so he did some 600s and downwards it was very effective. He commented how easy it was for him to play the game. He is getting noticed now. After a coach-athlete discussion, this year we have agreed that he would benefit from a short to long approach. He hasn’t looked back since. He now has to worry about defenders trying to hack him down because of his speed. He has commented on how efficiently he moves in comparison to others on the pitch.

Sprinting and soccer training seem to work well together. Frank Fredericks started out as a soccer player. Numerous sprinters in the UK start out as soccer players or train as both before making the leap into track.

Depends on how your week is spread out. My week is pretty congested and progress is painful, to say the least.
