Training, Recovery, and Rest
Here at Becker Soccer, we are adamant that the student athlete be the first to recognize their well being. Because Soccer is an 'Endurance Sport' there are occasions that your student is prone to illnesses such as colds, viral infections, etc. This is typical of most sports, and in our program we recognize this. In recognizing this we understand that REST is not an option, it is expected!
TRAINING
Training is the work or practice taking place during a specific sport. For soccer, we spend a lot of our time during practice dedicated to increasing the student's endurance. Each student arrives to the first day of practice with different levels of endurance. We understand this and expect our students to push themselves in a manner that they do not exceed their body's level of exasperation.
Even as we work to balance skill development, recovery, and rest - we focus on the student gaining endurance through exercises that include prolonged runs (2-3 miles), hard sprints (200yds), and green spaces (3/4 mile). We make sure to inform the students to pace themselves accordingly and never push them to exasperate their bodies.
We concentrate on development that will strengthen and enhance their fast twitch muscles. Many of our round-robin course training includes skill development that keeps the students re-enacting the same motions as to engage muscle memory as they improve fast twitch muscles.
RECOVERY
Recovery is just as important to developing the body as the training itself. Proper recovery during repetition cycles is vital. Here at Becker Soccer we limit repeated skill development and cycles to duration that best fit these cycles. Our goal is to create a training platform that mixes the different types of training to coincide with recovery schedules for the different levels of training. Students are rarely exposed to sessions that last more than 30 minutes. Even within this time frame, most of the sessions are broken down into different skill development sequences.
REST
Rest is vital to limit the bodies over-exertion. When students are over-productive, their bodies are not regaining the energy or the healing that are desperately needed. As our students are still growing at rapid rates, their rest time is most vital to their keeping healthy. During the season of an Endurance Sport such as Soccer, students should expect to get at least 7-10 hours of sleep each night.
