Improve your body for soccer

Having on field skill is great, but in order for your body to perform these tasks, you must be strong and in shape. In order to do so, you must workout and get stronger so you can power through contact from your opponents. Ace says "To be on your game all of the time, you need to make sure that you are getting in the right work outs" (McCloud). While I have played baseball my whole life, my idea of work outs consist of a lot of upper body and core work.

One workout Ace recommends to do is Power Jumps. "When you can do a powerful jump, you are getting some new effects on your leg muscles. You can work all parts of the leg with these jumps" (McCloud).

"Then use all of your might to jump as high as possible" (McCloud)

"Get into a half squat to start" (McCloud) 

I completed 10 sets of 20 reps each of this workout. Ace was right, these power jumps truly engage all of your leg muscles. Doing these types of workouts will surely add to your muscle strength and endurance, both of which will pay huge dividends on the pitch. What do you do to get stronger?
