Running and speed is an integral part of the football game being that the combination often means that making a touchdown is more likely. In terms of speed training, you must refer back the previous statements about the importance of not overtraining. For the sake of getting faster, many athletes run farther and harder, and then on game day they are worn out and can't perform the way they'd like. Speed training is often pursued on the field. However, strength training done properly is a sure-fire way to gain ground in terms of speed. If you've already done serious weight training for gaining strength and power, your speed is already being influenced by the strength of the major muscles of your body. The chances are good that you are already moving over the ground with some substantial power. However, power combined with stride speed can generate a serious shift in speed. Football is played in two main forms, firstly as a 90 minute game with a 15 minute half time rest period, or a more explosive 5 aside game. Being a sport that is constantly on the go, your fitness level and strength plays an important part in your game, however a high skill level on the ball and good knowledge of the game are also essential. |

Football is a very technical game in many respects and if a player doesn't have all the plays stuck up in his head, he's not going to know how to react when a certain play is called. The offense of a team is the key to scoring points. Without a well tuned offense a team doesn't have a chance. That's why each man in the offensive unit has to know his role and execute it to the best of his ability. This involves not only skill but also thinking on his feet.
