Power Up Your Soccer Game – Best Strength Training Exercise For Soccer is Here!

If you want your soccer strength and conditioning training to drastically improve your on field play then you must include kettlebell snatches into your program. As a strength and conditioning specialist if I had to choose one exercise to take your strength training workout for soccer to an all new level then I would choose the single arm overhead kettlebell snatch.

This single lift promotes tremendous core strength, hip power, explosiveness, shoulder stability, and the cardiovascular fitness equal to that of a race horse! This lift is performed by you vertically lifting the bell from the ground or between your legs up to a held position above your head. This is done by you having to forcefully flex and then extend at the hips and knees in order to create enough pulling velocity to elevate the kettlebell to a high pull position lateral to your head. 

This “high pulling” motion should mimic the task of pulling back on a bow (like shooting a bow and arrow). Once the kettlebell reaches this elevated position then to finish the lift you must vertically punch your palm towards the sky locking your elbow and shoulder into position. This is where you will achieve every physical superior trait you need to be very effective on the soccer field. By implementing this lift you will be able to be much more physical with your soccer game, thereby making it much more difficult for your competitors to step on the same field with you.

If you haven’t taken the time to include kettlebells into your strength training drills then you are only holding back your progress and limiting your potential. Strength training your muscles to be dominant in any sport requires valuable knowledge and the investment of some time.
