When is the best time to start implementing a strength & conditioning program?
The best time would be during the early part of the off-season for those who participate in soccer competition during part of the year. However, a strength & conditioning program can be started any time during the off-season at least a few months before pre-season. For those, who are involved in competition and club team participation throughout most of the year, it is best to start during a month when there is no requirement for soccer activity or very minimal participation. This will allow the body to better handle the stress of strength & conditioning training during the early part of the program.
