Hey HYSA families!

We’re excited to share a brand-new video series from our Director of Strength and Conditioning Brendan O’Neill, designed just for our HYSA players. These short, easy-to-follow workouts help you build strength, mobility, and flexibility, all essential for becoming a better, healthier soccer player.

Whether you’re looking to get ready for the upcoming season or just stay active during the week, these exercises can be done right at home with little or no equipment (we do recommend resistance bands, see bottom of post). Each video walks you through movements tailored specifically for soccer — think balance, core stability, and explosive power — so you can feel stronger on the ball, quicker around the field, and more confident in your game.

But it’s not just about performance, consistent conditioning also helps you stay injury-free. Building strong muscles and joints keeps your body ready for the twists, turns, and sprints that happen in every match. A few minutes a day can make a huge difference over the course of a season!

Resistance Bands:
Mini-Band
Superband
We recommend players should have their own light (yellow) and medium (green) mini-band as well as a 1/4″ (orange) superband.

So grab your sneakers, clear some space in the living room, and let’s get moving! Share your workouts with us on social media — tag @HudsonYouthSoccer on Facebook or @hudson_youth_soccer on Instagram so we can cheer you on!

Let’s get stronger together, HYSA family!
