Day 10-Eric Edmonds

 Day 10 started at 10:00 in the gym where I rolled out, stretched out, and hopped on the bike for 10 minutes to warm up before doing my leg workout:

  • Back squats 3x6-8 225lbs

  • Box jumps 3x4-6 36 in

  • Weighted jumps 3x8 20 lbs DB’s

  • Assisted jumps 3x8

 - split squats E/legs 6 reps superset RDL’s 6 reps

  • Splits squats 6 reps E/leg superset Split jumps 6 reps E/leg

Today I felt good and performed the workout the best I have so far. I went up 3 inches for box jumps which I was pumped about. I also did some biceps and triceps because I have not done arms in about a week and a half. I left the gym at 12:00.

Time in gym: 2 hours


After lunch I headed out to the field at 2:00 and did some dribbling work after some warmup and muscle activation. I did three drills that consisted of 90 degree cuts and 45 degree cuts on the run and with the ball. I did two laps of shuttle runs after and I finished at 3:15.

Time at field: 1 hour 15 minutes


I got back into the gym for my cooldown stretch. I did 10 light minutes on the bike and 5 minutes of inclined backwards walking. Next I did a 15 minute core workout then my stretching routine. I left the gym at 5 and got there at 4. 

Time in gym: 1 hour


Total time: 4 hours and 15 minutes

Eric Edmonds- Week 2 Reflection

  Week 2 things were a lot smoother because I learned how to make my routine flow during week one. I stuck with lifting in the morning, playing soccer in the afternoon, and stretching out and mobilizing my body. I was a lot more focused on the recovery aspect of things this week for a lot of reasons. Obviously I was waking up sore the majority of last week and I wanted to learn how to fix it. I also just wanted to build good habits and figure out what my body needs and how it recovers. I was eating well and stretching, but I realized that I am missing an aspect of recovery. I wasn’t sleeping long enough. I also found that taking a 30 minute nap after lunch really benefited my afternoon sessions. I saw in a video about sleep coaching and professional players often nap midday after lunch because it is the body’s natural shutdown period. In Spain, they have siesta which is exactly this. You do a little body reset and it sets you up better than tackling the next thing right after. I took m

Eric Edmonds- Week 1 Reflection

During week one I was working on putting my routine into motion and figuring out how to tackle each day one day at a time. Every morning I’d wake up for the first three days I was working on how the timing was going to work and how to plan my workouts in a way that I was getting the most out of every session. I usually start with an hour and a half and sometimes two hours in the gym. I am lifting for usually an hour to an hour and a half and stretching from 15-30 minutes depending on how my body is feeling. I am focusing on what is tight and sore which is usually my hamstrings, calves and abductors. All around I am focusing on having a strong start to the day and getting ready to hit the field after lunch. I have been going to the field for around an hour and a half in the afternoon from 2:00-3:30. Then I finish off the day with some plyometrics and mobility/recovery so my body is ready to go again the next day. I do conditioning 3 days a week. Usually in the morning or after my ball w
