Day 9- Eric Edmonds

 Day 9 started at 10:30 in the gym where I got a good 15 minute light bike then about a 10 minute dynamic warmup before getting into the plyometric routine below:

pogo jumps 2 x 20

squat pulse 2 x 10

rotational broad jump 3 x 2 EL

SL broad to bound 3 x 2 EL

depth jumps 4 x 2

loaded jumps 4 x 3


I was focusing on performing quality reps and really taking my time to get these right because I haven’t done some of them before. I got out of the gym at 12:15 which resulted in an hour and 45 minutes in the gym. 


I got some lunch and rest and headed out for a run on my usual course  (two laps around campus/rail trail) at 1:45. I went out to Carr field at 2:15 to perform some close control ball work that I got from these two videos.

I left the field at 3:15 so I was out for 1 hour and 30 minutes. 

Lastly I got into the gym at 4:30 and did some low intensity biking, abs because I forgot to do them earlier, and my 30 minute stretch from this video. Pro Footballer's Full Deep Stretch and Yoga Routine | 30 Minute Yoga for Soccer Players

I left the gym at 5:45 for dinner 


Total Time: 4 hours 30 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
