Why is strength important to a footballer?
Strength is important because it makes you better because you can push people around and no-one messes with you. It means you score more goals.
Task
Read the following slide carefully Highlight the parts which make it a
successful response
Why is Strength important to a Footballer?
There are a number of reasons that strength is important to a footballer. Firstly, for strikers, leg strength allows more powerful shooting. This means that the shot is more likely to beat the goalkeeper and enter the goal. Secondly, upper body strength means that players are more able to knock opponents off the ball. As a result, the player is much more likely to keep possession and create scoring or passing opportunities for their team. Finally, arm strength is important to allow players to take long throw-ins where needed. Consequently, throw-ins become a valuable weapon in attacking the opponents’ goal.
