Secret Advice from a High School Sports Expert

Hi Friend,

A few weeks ago I had the priveledge of speaking with a High School Sports expert.
He's has 30 successful years in the business, been named Athletic Director of the Year,
and sits on countless boards to help improve the lives of high school scholar athletes.

And today I'd like to give you a piece of his wisdom.

First, he said that a lot of soccer players play year round.
Especially when it comes to club teams. Unfortunately,
most club soccer coaches (there are alyways exceptions to the rule)
only care about one thing. And it's not your daughter.

So here you are forking out your hard earned dough for an expert coach 3-5 days a week.
Yet 90+% of these expert coaches, especially girls teams, forget the most
important part of a successful team.

Healthy players who love the game.

Pro's have two things youth players typically don't.
An off season and a strength training program.

Lets focus on the latter.

My Expert went on to say:

"Most injuries occur because all the girls do is play. They never
take into account any strength training. This is a major reason
why they get injured often and take a long time to recover."

Hearing him say that made my day. I've been screaming from
the roof tops that physical strength and flexibility is one of the
4 pillars of a successful soccer player.

Now I'm not a fan of lifting weights. Weight training is not what I
suggest, especially for young players. Actually, I haven't lifted
a barbell in over 5 years. And I'm physically and mentally stronger
and healthier than I've ever been .

What I found was that the finest and fittest athletes of all time
all had one thing in common.

Body weight exercises.

That's why I've developed my "Elite Soccer Players Training System"
to include natural body weight exercises that create incredible strength,
phenomenal flexibility, and fantastic body awareness and control.

Not to mention the side effects you'll receive like brialliant skills,
sensational speed, and everlasting endurance.

The fastest way to become a goal scoring hero is to get started today
training like an Elite Soccer Player. nberentis@gmail.com

How to Train in the Rain!

How to Train in the Rain!

HI Friend,

I'm sitting in the living room watching this relentless downpour
of rain fall outside. It seems like it's been raining non-stop for a week now.

Both the backyard and the front yard are flooded. I called the
field hotline and they expect to be closed all week.

So like you, I'm wondering what am I gonna do to get my training in?

I came up with 3 options. Let me know what you think is the best.

1. Rent an indoor facility. You will stay dry but chances are it's gonna cost you.
2. Don't train at all. Bad idea if you ask me.
3. Hire your dad to move some furniture.

Okay, maybe you don't have to hire dad, but maybe you can convince him to
move a chair or two. Tell him you'll clean your room or take out the trash.
Whatever it takes to get permission and a small space in the living room
so you can knock out the following training session.

Start with the Unbeatable Warm Up like I teach to all my Elite Soccer Players.
This warm up guarantees you get the blood flowing, the energy moving,
and will create a laser like focus for you training session.

Once you've finished you'll need to start with 30 seconds of high knees.
Make sure you've got a stop watch to time yourself. For your second set
do as many as you can in 30 seconds. Then as many as you can in 45 seconds.

Follow it up with as many toe touches and ball shuffles as you can do in 1 minute.
Finish it off with 3 sets of Hindu Squats, 3 sets of Hindu Push ups, and 3 sets of
Table makers.

You'll be huffin and puffin in a good way.

Now you might think you need a big ole field to get a kick butt
training session. But the reality is you don't.
Never let anything stop you from becoming a better soccer player.

Wishing you Confidence and Skill,


Sensei

PS Next weeks training marks the start of the 2010 training session.
I'm gonna let the cat out of the bag on some new skills that will transform
doubt and frustration into confidence.

Be sure you get a front row seat. nberentis@gmail.com

PPS I'm only accepting a select few and it looks like there's only 2 spots remaining.
Better grab your spot before someone else does. nberentis@gmail.com

Three Secrets to Scoring More Goals

Hi Friend,

Last nights’ semi-final matches really got my coaching and training juices flowing. I saw some amazing cuts, skill, and confidence from some Elite Players.

So figured I give you three of my most prized secrets to Scoring More Goals.

Here we go:

1. “I’ve never scored a goal on a shot I didn’t take.”

You’ve got to shoot to score. The more balls you kick on goal (or on frame) the more chances you have of it rolling past the line and into the back of the net.

2. Keep the ball down and aim for the corners.

Evening and morning games always make it hard for keepers to stop powerful first shots.

Why?

The wet field makes it difficult for keepers to move laterally (side to side). Not the mention the ball skips and travels with more speed.

Strike the ball with confidence toward the posts and you’re sure to be celebrating with more GOOOAAAAALLLLLSSS!!!!

3. Crash the net!

Like I said, the field and ball are wet. That’s a recipe for more rebounds off the goal keeper. Whether you are the shooter or another attacker; be sure you crash the goal after a shot. You’ll find yourself with triple the opportunities to score.

Use these three secrets and you are well on your way to scoring more goals. Well, that’s all for today!

Wishing You Confidence and Skill,

How to Handle A Devastating Loss

Hi Friend,

Last night four powerhouse teams took the field in an all out battle to secure two spots in the Championship.

These U-10 Girls really put on an exciting soccer show. I’ve never seen so much skill, hustle, and determination displayed by a group of 10 year olds.

First I saw strikers split the defense. Using outside cuts and quick feet to accelerate past defenders.

Then the defense stepped it up and played the angles. Shutting down top players and clearing the ball with power and accuracy.

The energy on the field was amazing. You could tell a few players were feeling it. There was a shimmy in their game.

When the final whistle blew, just like always, there was excitement and joy on one side of the field and sadness and tears on the other.

Unfortunately, two teams ended their season last night. But, just because the season is over doesn’t mean the learning stops.

I believe each individual player that lost last night has the juice inside to overcome this devastating loss.

And it showed.

Every player who lost last night walked off the field confidently with their head held high. It was a surprising and tremendous sight to see and feel. Much more than I expected to see from 10 year olds.

Congratulations to all the players for leaving it all on the field and I’m looking forward to watching a successful Spring Season.

Wishing You Confidence and Skill,


“Sensei”

The One Question that Saved My Soccer Career

Hi Friend,

When I was 18 I wanted nothing more than to play college sports. Nobody in my family had ever done that before. Achieving this goal was a huge deal to me.

After both the baseball and basketball coaches told me “NO!” I felt defeated, confused and frustrated.

Then my luck changed.

Because I was feeling a bit dejected, and nervous about starting college and not even getting a tryout, I choose to sit and sulk in the back of the classroom.

Can you relate?

Like I said, fortunately my luck was about to change. It always seems to work that way. Anyway, next to me sat two guys who talked a lot. I overheard them say soccer tryouts were tomorrow.

I thought, "Wait a minute… I can play soccer.”

Then my brain took its normal detour into Worryville.

“You haven’t played in 6 months. This is college soccer not AYSO. Remember its 45 minute halves. You didn’t play in high school. What if the coach says no way? Can you take the kind of rejection again?”

And on and on and on this went for about an hour.

Finally the ridiculous mind chatter slowed and I was able to get ONE logical question into my brain.

What was that question?

“Do you want to play or not?”

Immediately my mind and body started to tingle with excitement as I screamed, “YES!!!!!!”

Thank God I didn’t scream it out loud. Everyone in class would have thought I was weird.

Of course my soccer career was not miraculously created because I asked and answered that one question. But it was definitely how I launched myself out of Worryville.

With training, imagination, and a lot of practice I became a 2 year starter and scored a couple of game winning goals. It was a tremendous experience.

Well my friend, 2010 is upon us. And I see big things coming your way.

Wishing You Confidence and Skill,
