Conditioning

Once I made the Jordan Strikers comp soccer team, I heard the word conditioning many times and was nervous that my coach was going to kick the living daylight out of me. My coach feels that we should be physically fit for the comp level we are playing at. Since we are going to be playing in the Park City Tournament, we will be playing Sparta and a lot of other highly competitive teams. We practice as a team every Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, and have Conditioning on Saturdays. On Saturdays we have to run 4 miles non stop and have to get under 30 minutes, have to run a mile up a steep hill, do 50 sit-ups, 50 push-ups, do stretches that made me ache all over, and had to run ladders. After that, my whole body aches. I hope by doing this, it will help to fight my asthma and strenghthen my lungs.
