Group Technical Training Session and Footballer Gym Workout | The Season | Episode 4

In episode 4 of "The Season" I get together with some other signed players from the Rochester Lancers to get some extra work in on the training pitch to boost fitness and technical ability ahead of preseason. We then head over to the gym for a balance and core workout to improve performance on the pitch, using various exercises to increase stability of the muscles surrounding the joints, and strengthen the entire core. Enjoy!

In indoor it’s pretty heavy contact, so practicing how to land correctly can help avoid injuries to your arms/shoulders/back etc. Also a good core workout!

[@daconvertiblebaby69]

what are the difference doing the workouts with the blue balance thingy and without it?

[@7mlc]

Doing the exercises on an uneven surface requires your muscles to work harder to stabilise for balance. Increasing balance and stability improves performance and helps with injury prevention

[@isainan9156]

My preseason tryout is on the 11th for the orlando seawolves. It would be a pleasure to play against you this season as I've been watching your videos for the last couple of years and improving greatly off of them.

[@christophemax6729]

Hi guys, I stopped playing football one year ago caused an injury but now I want to play football again. I should do some exercises myself and prepare myself at home and then get back in after the winter break or go back to the training now. Does anyone have suggestions? Does anyone have any suggestions on how I should get it? PS: nice video! and keep training guys!

[@7mlc]

It’s always good to ease back into your training gradually after an extended time away. If it was me in this situation, I’d work on getting my body fit and strong through regular running and body weight training (increasing intensity over time) also getting the basics back such as your shooting, dribbling, first touch. Then once you feel ready, start training with a club and build from there. Don’t rush though mate, listen to your body.

Great video as always mate, you mentioned in your individual training that you do strength training on Tuesday then on Wednesday you do plyometrics. Does this mean you do strength training followed by plyometrics on the legs 2 days in a row or is the gym session purely upper body? Because wouldn’t it be bad to do strength and plyometrics on consecutive days on legs due to the lack of recovery? Also, would you ever consider playing in England as I would definitely travel to see you play or train😂

[@7mlc]

Thanks mate! The plyometrics are without weights, purely focusing on the fast twitch muscle fibres. Haha, I don’t have any plans to play back on England. After living there most of my life, I’m enjoying playing in different parts of the world. I guess you never really know though!
