Hello all, 

For athletic trainers that are attending the NATA convention in Las Vegas at the end of June 2013.  There will be a meeting of ATCs involved in the soccer world on Wednesday June 26th at 10 AM Mandalay Bay's Lagoon F.  This is the 2nd year in a row that Brett Draper of Akron has set up as a meet and greet of colleagues.   The hope that is that this will lead to future meetings, educational opportunities, a society of soccer ATCs and much more.  If you are there, we hope that you can joind us. 

Kind regards,

You have just finished a long club season, school is ending and summer is about to start. Before too long you will be heading off to play WPSL or PDL soccer for the summer or beginning your college soccer training packets. Coaches are constantly on you to maintain or increase your fitness. With all of these factors, how much time should you take off? 

Lunges are a great exercise to strengthen your legs. But if you're a soccer player, you will need an additional challenge that protects your knees from injury as well as strengthens your legs. Adding band resistance to your lunges is a great way to to do so.

The lateral walk is a tried and true method to strengthen your glutes and stabilize your knee. Every soccer athlete should incorporate the lateral walk into their fitness routine or injury prevention routine.
