Football Training to Become an Elite Football Player

Football Training to Become a All-Star Football Player

Your football training must have a singular focus: to become a great football player! Yes, we love to hit the big numbers in the Bench or Squat or Deadlift. And, we all like to look good. But, you MUST make sure that those things are part of the plan, not the focus. Your football workouts should always be about making you a better football player.

Here's what your workouts need to focus on:

• Becoming Stronger - strength is the key to success in football (and all sports)
• Getting faster for football - on the field speed is key
• Becoming more athletic - your ability to move on the field
• Becoming tougher mentally
• Improving football skill

Having your football training reflect all of these aspects can be complicated, but, it is quite doable.

It takes careful planning and the ability to make sure that everything in your workout is needed and not just there because you like doing it.

Take a look at the workout below. I'll list the exercises and sets & reps. Then, I'll list what each movement is included for.
