My name is Stephen Bailey, and I am a Doctor of Physical Therapy and a Certified Strength and Conditioning Specialist in Irmo, South Carolina. I offer strength and conditioning plans for middle school, high school, and college soccer players to help them build strength and speed during the off-season, as well as strengthen areas that are commonly injured in soccer to help prevent future injuries.
This 8-week, Off-season Soccer Strength program includes 3 workouts a week, with one squat-focused day, one upper body day, and one deadlift-focused day. It includes power exercises to work on developing speed and explosiveness, as well as accessory exercises to strengthen commonly injured muscle groups in soccer.
For the past year, I have hosted in-person small group soccer-specific strength sessions for youth soccer players during the off-season. I am excited to now be offering an online option for those who cannot come in-person! This program is perfect for high school or college soccer players who are motivated to get strong during the off-season and who want to put the work in to lower their chances of being injured the next season!
