Testing for Soccer
By Athletes' Acceleration | January 26th, 2008
Creating a periodization program for the upcoming soccer season takes a lot of time and effort. Hours are spent putting together a training program with hopes of having a great season and improving on the previous year.
The big question is, how do you know if you have a perfect training plan for your team? How do you quantify how successful your program is/was? Do you go by wins and losses?
You need a measurable way of assessing the success of your program - something you can track and something you can quantify in order to compare before, during, and after season results.
So how do you accomplish this?
What makes up a successful training program and how do you make sure that your program design is right for your team?
