[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Anyone can play hard for 10 minutes. As players progress in age and talent, it's a matter of who can play hard for 40 minutes. Running is really the only way to build that stamina.[/quote]

No. That is a load of BS. Soccer is about sprints and jog, sprint and jog. Usually about 10 yard sprints. This is a lot different vs running at a consistent speed. You get into game shape through practice and games. At the travel level the difference between athleticism is what makes a difference. I have seen out of shape great athletes dominate on high school age travel teams. 
If you are training out side the team, it is individual skill work and strength/speed training. Unless you think your kid is already maxed out on skill and strength/speed? These things are done in the off season because they burn you legs out. [/quote]

Running at a constant speed for 40 minutes or whatever will increase your endurance, but it will make your top speed slower.  Facts.[/quote]
