How can I get stronger legs for soccer?
Well I started to play to soccer not so long ago, but I don't have strong big legs like most of the other players, so I'm looking to build some muscle on my entire legs to run faster and kick harder. So do any of you have a routine I could use to achieve this? Also how much protein and carbs should I be taking to do this?
How do I develop a stronger kick in soccer?
The best kicks you have, whether a free kick, goal kick, or just booting it up, are not done super hard. If you stay relaxed, composed, and use the right technique, the kick will be strong. Yes, you should be doing leg workouts, especially for your quads. Doing calisthenics for explosiveness when kicking will help as well.Once you have the technique down, practice. Practice so much that the way you kick the ball is part of your “muscle memory” and completely natural.I'm not going to try to tell you the corrected technique to hit a ball, as I am not qualified to. I am just giving you an idea of how to proceed as I had asked the same question years ago, and this is how I solved it.
How can I pass and shoot stronger in soccer?
You have to improve the muscles in your feet, mostly in the thigh. It´s quite hard to improve them just by playing football sadly, so you probably have to go to the gym or train otherwise. A bit is decided by genes (how big are your fathers thigh?), but I´ve found that cycling (especially upwards) helps a lot. Running in sand (playing sand football?) and other training that tires the legs can help.But another important aspect is this: What´s the point?Shooting hard is not a key element of football. Goals are normally scored because the keeper stands on the front and therefore loses a bit of his ability to get over to the other side, but this normally only happens if the ball strikes something on the way to goal, say a head or leg. You could also score by shooting from a position where the keeper doesn´t see the ball all the way. Shoot it around the defender with a spin for example. Many goals are scored by deflections or by shooting it between the defenders legs so shooting low can be a smart thing to practice on.Rather than doing so much work to improve a skill that is not that necessary, maybe you should work on reading the situation and finding the smartest option. The keeper will normally stand a few metres in front of the goal when the ball is more than 20 metres away so try to work on looking for a chip instead. Lool at Francesco Totti, the genius of lobs.It´s more important to have a range of ways to shoot than to be so good on one maneuver. I´ve got a friend who always shoots with power but only seldom gets the ball in the net.When it comes to passes: Look at Andrea Pirlo, especially the video on YouTube with F2 (Andrea Pirlo AMAZING Passing Master Class! F2 VS USA). See how rarely he puts great power in the pass, it´s really all about the technique. You should especially work on the golf swerve (where you bend your ankle).
My soccer shots are weak. How do i make my soccer shots stronger?
If you were kicking the ball correctly and still had weak shots, then lifting weights or strength training might be the only way to improve but chances are you are not. I have played soccer my whole life and I have learned that if you kick the ball correctly, you don't really need to kick it hard to make it go. When kicking the ball correctly, your ankle is locked with your toe pointing down. That way, when you strike the ball, it will hit "the laces"; or the sweet spot of your foot. Feel your foot; find that sweet spot. The sweet spot is generally located beneath your laces on your boots. You'll find that there is a bone there that if you strike the ball with it, the ball will fly. After you strike the ball, you need to follow through; if you don't follow through, you won't get as much power or get the spin that you wanted. Practice this technique a couple times without the ball; then practice with the ball but at half speed. Make sure you are hitting right. It is hard learn this technique through just reading about it so if it doesn't work after the first couple trys, ask a real coach about this technique; if they actually know how to play, they should know this.

First, I would have your parents make an appointment with your doctor just to rule out any physical condition.After the check up and I will tell you no one listens or me. Start running up hills or backward to build up your hamstrings and hip plexor muscles. Your legs are a big part of your game in Futbol.I played scrimmage hockey and now recreationally skate. Unbragingly, I am old enough to be your father or grandfather and even with injuries and age catching up with me people can’t believe how well I can kick a soccer ball.If you have an ice rink near you go and learn to figure skate. Figure Skating is a much made fun of sport. Yet, hockey players come to figure skaters to learn how to get balance with a stick. Figure skaters need to learn a types of turns. They are actually well conditioned athletes and their legs are strong.
Will playing soccer make my legs thicker ?
In your legs you find bones, muscle and fat. Exercising you are building up your muscles making them stronger. And of course bigger. Depending on the type of exercise and intensity they can get only so much bigger. At the same time you are burning up the fat leaving behind muscle mass. To answer your question: yes they will get thicker because you work out your muscles. Just like when you do sit ups and push ups and you work out your abdominal muscles.
Why am I a lot stronger on my legs than arms?
I agree with David here.It may be caused by the fact that you play basketball or football or soccer or any other sports which will make your legs stronger.I have another theory, when I was in high school, I weigh like 300 pounds and playing basketball all the time.(if you call it "playing" xD) Then in 6 months, before I start going to college, I lost 120 pounds in 6 months and reached 180 pound weight. Then I realized that my legs are way stronger than normal. I think the reason is my legs' capacity is way more than 180 pound and that's why they feel too strong.It may be caused by a lot of reasons tho'. Your daily life, the stairs on the way to your school, inclined roads, the games consists running, the sex positions... that's not a bad thing. Strong legs, strong body.Peace.
