It does not good to train for performance if you are going to get injured and lose all the benefits of previous training. That is why the goal of performance programs should be two fold: 1) Increase Performance 2) Decrease Injury.
Injury prevention encompasses many different parts of the football athlete. We know that women are very susceptible to ACL injuries. Therefore it is very important to include in part of your program and ACL prevention program for women athletes. In general how you design your soccer specific program will prove huge. For example, if you have your football athletes go out and run mile after mile and the players are constantly coming up with overuse injuries like tendonitis or bursitis of the knee, you should tie a correlation to the long running.
So we see that injury prevention should be given some very strong thought if you are a soccer coach or a soccer athlete. If you put performance before injury reduction you are risking the future of your athletes. Try improving the 40 yard dash times of your female soccer athlete that has just tore her ACL. Try maximizing the fitness of your soccer athlete that has a severe form of tendonitis in the knee from over doing long distance running.
