Scheduling football workouts around your season

Why scheduling matters in football

Footballers juggle matches, training, and recovery across a long season. A misaligned workout schedule can sap energy before a crucial match. Proper scheduling ensures you peak for every game.

How scheduling boosts football performance

Matches require intense bursts—strikers sprint 20–30 times per game, per a 2024 FIFA study. Scheduling workouts on lighter days prevents fatigue, while recovery sessions reduce injuries. A tailored schedule keeps you match-ready.

5 tips to schedule football workouts effectively

These steps align your workouts with your football season.

• Map match days: Avoid heavy lifts 24–48 hours before games.

• Prioritise recovery: Schedule mobility post-match for muscle health.

• Plan weekly: Fit 2–3 strength sessions on non-match days.

• Adjust for intensity: Reduce volume during double-match weeks.

• Track rest: Include 1–2 full rest days weekly.
