Injury Prevention
Availability is the best ability. The Injury Prevention & Recovery section provides protocols to keep your squad healthy and ready to perform.
Learn the science behind effective warm-ups (like the FIFA 11+), cool-down routines, and active recovery strategies. We also cover load monitoring—how to recognize when your players are in the “Danger Zone” of overtraining and how to adjust your sessions to prevent soft tissue injuries like hamstring strains.
FAQs: Recovery & Prevention
What is Active Recovery?
Active recovery involves low-intensity exercise (like light jogging, rondo, or cycling) to flush out metabolic waste products (lactate) from the muscles. It is often more effective than “Passive Recovery” (doing nothing).
What are the signs of overtraining in soccer players?
Common signs include persistent muscle soreness, decreased sleep quality, irritability, and a drop in performance or motivation. If you see this, reduce the training volume (time) but keep the intensity (speed) high.
