This week, I’m going to show you how to do a soccer strength exercise that will help you build leg strength, core power, and help you jump higher.
To do a squat jump, start with your feet shoulder width apart. While keeping your back straight, lower yourself down until your hands touch the ground. Your weight should be on your heels, not your toes. From this position, jump straight up in the air, extending your arms up as high as you can.
When you land on the ground, drop immediately down into a squat position, and then jump back up in the air. Continue in this fashion for as many reps as you want to do.
This workout is best paired with a soccer drill that develops your leg strength like toe taps. Try doing 10 squat jumps, then 50 toe taps. You should really feel the workout in your legs.
