Warm-up before a soccer game
)
The right warm-up program is the perfect tool to prepare players mentally and physically for the upcoming game. In the second part of our warm-up blog, we show you which exercises you should rely on when warming up.
Nearly every team has a proper warm-up routine before training sessions and games. But the exercises are not always thought through by the coach. In addition to the physical and psychological preparation for the upcoming opponent, a good warm-up also serves to prevent injuries and should therefore be prepared in detail. After introducing you to the stages of a warm-up program in the first part of our warm-up series, we are now filling them with content that places a special focus on the hamstring muscles.
