You might add to what lynx had daily meditation and progressive muscle relaxation. These together can help you relaxe stiff muscles,build mind/body link, as well as relaxe your mind

I too play a lot of soccer.

What i always do (or rather DID when i was playing competitively for University) for pre-season was a combination of HIIT and aerobic training and Plyometric drills ( a combination of box jumps, weighted skipping followed by a 50m sprint all together comprised 1 set. I did 10 sets per Plyometric session)

Look into plyometrics - it is awesome for applied strength.

Start running outside your team training - do intervals as well as aerobic sessions. Stretching is a MUST before and after all training sessions. A regular massage is VERY beneficial during the season (and even off-season for that matter).

I used something similar to the following (this is not including weight training) and it worked really well for me:

Day 1 - Rest + stretching + massage
Day 2 - Team Training
Day 3 - Moderate intensity Aerobic session + stretching session
Day 4 - Team training
Day 5 - HIIT + Plyometrics + stretching session
Day 6 - Low-intensity sport-specific training (e.g dribbling cones, penalty kicks, free kicks on goal, juggling) + Pilates/Yoga
Day 7 - Game day

Infact i use the same program for cricket as well and its working really well.

Hope this helps

I play soccer and i just recently started running track. My sprinting coach built me up to a good endurance level so i can run a 200m race going all out and barely slowing down at the beginning. What i recommend doing is a speed interval workout mention above. The only thing i would do to change it is going like 6 x 100 m runs all out with complete recovery. The only way to get better is to push your self. I hated doing this workout, but in the end it became really easy and it made me enjoy running more.

Do you guys think that guerilla cardio could improve it?

Speed interval training, for example run 4 x 200m, 2 x 100m and 1 x 50m to start... Google it

I play soccer competitively and my only flaw is that after sprinting all out with the ball in one run, I find it really hard to get back to the physical level that I was at before I sprinted. I keep panting (breathing hard) and my whole body just feels tired. How can I stop this and get my self back to that level again faster?
