Improving the first three steps for Soccer
⚽ Push first. Build speed. Run tall.
Working with this young soccer player on two different parts of his sprint: how he gets moving, and how he runs once he’s up to speed.
Over the first three steps, we’re encouraging him to push himself forward rather than lift the front foot to get going. We’re also developing ankle stiffness — a firm, springy contact with the ground, rather than deliberately locking the ankle.
As he builds speed, the focus shifts towards coordinated arm drive and an upright running position.
We practise these pieces separately, with one clear focus at a time, then bring them together. Small improvements that we’re working towards carrying onto the pitch.
