Advanced development will separate your running ability from your soccer ability. Your soccer speed should be the speed with which you execute soccer skills, not your ability to run. Messi and Ronaldo combine the ability to sprint with the ability to move the ball quickly from side to side. The side to side movement of the ball is your soccer speed, while sprinting is your athletic speed.

Good stuff. Is there any where that you can get hold of the pattern running workout routines? Also how do you go about getting your players to get the “sprint mechanics” part of all this?
