Tips for Best Results
- 💡Share injury history honestly, especially knees, ankles, hamstrings, groin, and Achilles issues.
- 💡Ask for work/rest ratios because soccer fitness depends on repeated efforts, not just steady jogging.
- 💡Use the plan as general fitness guidance, not medical treatment or rehab advice.
- 💡Include equipment constraints so the plan works whether you have a field, gym, or only a small space.
