for my U13 son who is primarily a defensive midfielder. He jogs a mile a day a few days a week and plays futsal one day per week, but that's about it outside of soccer practices, which are currently on hold for the winter. He used to practice with my husband, but currently cannot. I'd love to try to help him bulk up a tad - he is short, which is fine, but also very slight. I've had him work out a tad with me with hand weights (when I do my own exercise), but that's the only idea I have come up with. Any other suggestions would be much appreciated.


This is a total BS post. Who’d post stuff like this?

Me. Sorry that it is not the complaining and criticizing of various clubs that seem to often dominate discussions. I'm seeking advice to help my child in his goal. His coach is not the friendliest or most helpful, so I was hoping to get some advice here - which I did, and thanks to those who provided it, I appreciate it.

Please ignore that jerk.

Anyhow, if/when your DS jogs, get him to do it while dribbling a soccer ball.

We had my lanky 14 year old start working with a personal trainer once a week. It’s expensive ($90/week) but he LOVES it. I think it’s a good investment in his health and confidence. I had tried doing videos with him and he clearly knew nothing about proper technique and didn’t want to listen to mom. Now that he knows some basics he does lift at home on his own and follows some you Tube and Tick Tock routines. (I like Sydney Cummings on You Tube BTW).

Can you recommend your DS trainer?

Where are you located? In Maryland or Virginia or DC?

Maryland

If you are in Montgomery county and interested to talk my info is below. I would be happy to answer any of your questions. We are located in Rockville.

I’m not the PP but I love in Rockville. Do you offer virtual training for 12 yer olds? If so, how does it work. Otherwise, I will have to sign her up once COVID is over.
