The demands on youth soccer players today are ever increasing, as soccer has now become a year round sport. Not only do players participate in high school soccer and club soccer in the fall, winter, and spring, but now players are involved in summer leagues as well. Coaches and players alike are faced with time constraint issues as well as questions regarding efficient and effective practice schedules. Unfortunately, recovery methods do not receive the same attention. Applying principles of recovery and regeneration will be sure to give your team a winning edge.

Plan for Recovery

In order to better understand the concept of recovery, coaches should be aware of the following factors that affect the recovery process. Based on feedback from your players, these factors will help you in planning your future training sessions.

8 Factors Affecting Recovery

� Stress

� Environment

� Social Factors

� Sleeping Patterns

� Psychological Factors

� Nutrition

� Fatigue

� Training & Conditioning

In planning a training session, you must identify how each of these factors affects individual players and the team as a whole. Begin by determining what days your team will practice and when tournaments will occur. Next, plan your recovery sessions. Be sure to distribute active and passive rest accordingly. Finally, plan your actual training sessions. Progressive planning will ensure your players are continually improving. When performance levels begin to decline, ask yourself if you are allowing your players time to recover. Review your plan, make the appropriate changes, and you will soon be on your way to successful soccer play!
