Maybe I will get a job as S&C coach for soccer referees, thus I better prepare myself. I got all the articles from NSCA journal and a lot of abstracts from other journals. I plan to read it when I get some more info about the job.
I contacted one referee and he told me the ‘norms’ he gotta pass for first national league.
Norm #1
20x(150m for 30sec with 50m walk for 40sec)
Norm #2
6x40m under 6,4sec (?) rest 90sec
The first norm is a tempo workout – workout ‘capacity’ test and the second is RSA test.
I got some ideas about conditioning, but I will create a system when I hear the criterias (number of sessions, number of groups, etc). I plan testing them with YoYo Intermittent Recovery Test and creating simmilar groups.
I would use concurrent approach utilizing the following components
- Speed Training (up to 40-60m, but gross volume on 10-20m)
- Tempo workout (building volume over time)
- Interval workout (capped volume and decreasing rest over time. 150-200m distances; speed @60-70%)
- Speed Endurance and RSA work
Any thoughts on this?
… I’m serious! :rolleyes:
