Hey all,
I am sure you have all been keeping a close eye on the cup race in Europe. It has come down to Barcelona vs. Manchester United in Rome. It has been an exciting race and hopefully it will end with the most exciting game of the year so far!
TIPS:
Keep an eye on the player who is playing the same position as you in the games on TV. Watch what he does in the game, where he moves, how he acts, and attempt to replicate that in our game. This will help to teach yourself better body positioning, field positioning, and how to interact with other players in other positions on the field. This can greatly improve your game. If you want to make it even more fun, get your whole team together and watch the match. Buy some snacks and let everyone watch the game but concentrate on their position. This will hopefully get the entire team to see what it takes to win. The Champions League match is the best game to watch this for.

Although we have not really had to the chance to feel some true spring whether, we have already had a taste of the summer to come. Last weekend was 80+ degrees! There wasn’t a cloud in the sky, making it very easy to dehydrate, burn, and put nicely, feel sick. Sprinklers were out, pools were opened, playgrounds were packed, and best off all soccer fields were full.
So what can be done for protection during the summer while playing soccer? There are some obvious choices.
1) Where Sunscreen – Sunburn not only hurts but severely damages the skin. Most dangerous of all, being a soccer traing and player, I am out nearly every day with a ball, and while I was just a innocent child playing, I had no idea that when I would turn just 17 I would be talk of the dermatologist’s office because I was the youngest person they have seen with malignant Melanoma! Take it from me, melanoma is very serious, accounting for 75% of all skin cancer deaths. WHERE SUNSCREEN!!!
2) Hats – This is a highly debated subject due to the fact that most hats worn by children today have the hard brim. It is a sore topic. It may help you stay cooler and keep your face from being burned, but if you are running and fall down, this hat could have turned into a weapon against your forehead. My suggestion is to be sure to where a soft brim hat.
3) Drink, Drink, Drink – For the older group, (Over 21) You need to drink WATER, or some SPORTS DRINK! No I am not approving alcoholic beverages on the soccer field. That actually does more harm than good. Save it for later. Everyone…drink as much as you can before you get to the field and while you are at the field. Being dehydrated will give you a headache, you will feel sick to your stomach, and maybe vomit. Dehydration has also led to fainting. So please…DRINK!!
These are just a few tips that can greatly improve your future as a person and improve your soccer game. For example, if you are dehydrated, you will not perform they way might hope.

Hello All,
Welcome back from the wonderful weekend we had! Sunny and Hot, the way it should be when approaching the summer months. Obviously, everyone got out and was playing soccer all day and even through the night trying to take advantage of the beautiful weekend.
Into the nitty gritty.
We at All Soccer Training are going to be hold a wonderful promotion that will begin within the current week. The exact day, time, subject matter, and length of the promo are still to be disclosed, but consider this your warning. Check back often to make sure you don’t miss this event!
Keep on practicing,
All Soccer Training
During the past week, many of us have celebrated Easter and Passover, so here at All Soccer Training we all hope you had a great holiday, and maybe a few days off of work and school. But a new week has started, and as we all know work never ends, so back to work, and school too if your lucky enough.
Soccer stars!!
Even though it was your break, we hope you have kept up on all your soccer stuff. Remember, een though you want a break and you may think of taking a day off, every day you don’t work out is a day your opponent is working to beat you next time. So take this motivation, and get out to the field and start practicing. Practice those moves (scissor, step over, pull back), practice your figure eights, get a friend and just kick the ball around. Anything is better than nothing.
Parents!!
Remember, your child needs you! You may already know this, but what you don’t know is that by letting your child sit on the couch and watch spongebob or play the Nintendo Wii instead of play soccer, you may be hurting his/her chances to becoming that star player on the field. If you insist to letting your child have a day to watch tv, at least turn on some MLS or a European game. Fox Soccer Channel is a personal favorite.
The season has already started. and many are out there practicing. As I drive by the soccer fields, I can always see at least 1 person playing, if not a team practice. What about you? Are you practicing? Do you want to be the star on the field?
