World Cup Fever: Top 5 football fitness blog posts
World Cup Fever is upon us
Love it or hate it, there is no getting around it (although I am going to Houston for GAIN next week and that is probably a football desert!).
I thought this would be a good time to highlight the top 5 football related blog posts since the last World Cup:
- Speed endurance for football: theory and practice. Guest post by ex-Oxford United player Darren Watts.
- Breaking the jaw alignment myth: why Ronaldo should save his money. Fran’s myth busting blog on the footballer’s fad.
- Fitness testing for football. Q&A discussion with Mladen Jovanović.
- How to get faster for football. Speed training tips for footballers by Matt Durber.
- Are you fit enough to play in the Champions League Final? The complete low down on the fitness demands of playing top level football by Matt Durber.
Honourable mention goes to “What does Jack Wilshere have in common with a Dinosaur?” by Physiotherapist Sarah Marshall which helps explain why he is always injured!
Whilst England are taking a young, inexperienced team to Brasil, no doubt the expectations will rise and fall over the next few weeks.
I shall be shouting at the T.V. as much as the next man “Come on England“.

We really appreciate James' desire to challenge assumptions but simultaneously his ability to listen to both fencers and coaches on technical and tactical points. He manages to keep his sessions fresh and innovative without losing sight of our central goals. His sessions are challenging and fun and his attention detail is a tribute to his professionalism. Thank you.
