Deeper understanding of the game of soccer. As a physical education teacher I will use this knowledge to teach my students
I will recommend this course. A better understanding of soccer injury. I will make sure to warm up and condition myself before playing. A better understanding of soccer injury and recovery. I will focus on warm up and conditioning.
At the club I work at, students are required to participate in team sports. Soccer is one of the common sports teenagers choose to play. Great information on common injuries as well as treatment. It was laid out very well, easy to follow and very interesting. Highly recommend this course.
After taking the course I realized that approximately 1.3 million children are injured each year from sports-related accidents. Therefore, it is not enough to build a winner; there must also be relevance between an individual action and a team objective. Great learning for all professionals and individuals.
I gained an increased level of knowledge/education of the sport of soccer and how to better train anyone interested in increasing their skill/conditioning in the sport safely.
