Kicker strength training: What are the best exercises for soccer players?

IThey try to increase the distance or height they generate with each kick, NFL Kickers need to work on developing their strength, endurance and strength.

To improve their kicks, they need to perform different leg exercises no matter how uncomfortable they feel.

Skipping leg day may be an inside joke for people hitting the gym, but NFL players can’t take a single day off.

There are many exercises that help build leg strength, so let’s take a look at the most popular ones.

box jumps

This is one of the most popular exercises for hikers as well. Start standing with your feet shoulder-width apart and then lower into a quarter squat before moving your arms and jumping onto the box.

jump lunges

To perform this exercise, you need to bend your legs 90 degrees in front of the other before exploding in the air by straightening both legs. Land with your opposite foot in front, again making sure you are cushioning your landing and using your arms for balance.

jump squats

Considered one of the most popular plyometrics, this exercise requires you to perform a normal squat and add an explosive component by jumping in the air. Just make sure you ease your landing by bending your knees to avoid injuries.

front squat

Be sure to place the tape at the bottom where it will be when you stand, or around the top of your sternum. Hold the bar either by wrapping all four fingers of each hand around the bar (full fist) or by wrapping one, two or three fingers around the bar (partial fist). Standing, step back with both feet about shoulder width apart, toes pointing outward at a 45-degree angle. Then, breathe in and go down until the hip crease is one to two inches below the tops of the knees.
