Sean Faulkner and his team will be sharing a lot of valuable soccer training information via our blogs. His team will keep us on the forefront of one of the hottest new trends in soccer training which emphasizes band training to overload integrated functional soccer movements. This overloading technique produces faster gains in stability, power and explosive movements.

Sean says, “Incorporating elastic resistance is 100% totally transferable to the soccer pitch. Look at it this way, instead of training and strengthening certain muscle groups in isolation as with weights and gym pieces, resistance bands give the advantage of specifically overloading the muscle groups. Therefore, sports specific strengthening occurs.”

He also notes that, “Recreating soccer specific movements with the bands attached to the players introduces both physical and technical challenges at different loads and higher speeds. Basically you are training functional patterns in terms of strength and technique at the same time and in a shorter period of time. It totally reflects and transfers to the pitch.” FAULKNER!
