Throughout the world millions of dedicated soccer fans will turn out to support their favourite team, sometimes purely to watch their one, most admired and gifted superstar. These legends have included such sporting heroes as Pele, Ronaldinho and David Beckham.

Each week thousands will aspire to emulating the greats, hoping to achieve the fame and wealth that goes with being a world-class soccer player. Most will, more realistically, just want to improve their own personal levels of ability, stamina and fitness.

There are many skills involved in playing the magnificent game, which can take years to learn and master.

• Passing - the most fundamental of all soccer skills, having the ability to pass the ball accurately to one of your own team members.
• Shooting - whether it be that vital penalty shot to win the match, or a free kick that allows your team to develop an attack.
• Dribbling - as straightforward as being able to run with the ball while still keeping it under control. Some players can make this into an art form!
• Throwing - an accurate, long range throw-in can be as beneficial to your team as a free kick when performed with skill, strength and agility.
• Heading - an obvious advantage here is the capability of being able to jump higher than your opponents so that you can win the ball in the air.

So what do all of the above points have in common? Certainly skill plays a large part. This comes from your coaching, repetition and practice. Another, often overlooked, requirement is the stamina and endurance to be able to perform all of these elements over and over again during the course of a 90-minute soccer match.

How are you going to make yourself stand out from the next player, who could be from the opposing side, or even your own team members vying with you to get off the substitutes bench and on to the playing field? What advantage are you going to be able to give yourself so that you are the 'automatic choice' for the first team week after week?

Well, the answer to this is to be better equipped to deal with the physical stress and strain imposed on your body. The way that you can achieve this is by following a well structured and proven conditioning program that will make you a much stronger, fitter and more competitive athlete.

The player who is in the best physical condition will prevail!
