September is National Youth Soccer Month |
Week 4 of Youth Soccer Month is all about fitness and keeping yourself physically and mentally in shape for the game.
Your body and mind are the tools that you use to compete at any level you are playing at. Just like any other tool, you want to take care of them so when the time of need comes they will work most effectively.
Make sure you are constantly taking care of yourself. Eating healthy, staying hydrated and getting plenty of sleep are just as important as training on the field.
