PEP (Prevent Injury Enhance

Performance)Bert Mandelbaum, MD, US Men’s National Team PhysicianMedial Director 1999 Women’s World CupMedical director for Major League Soccer since its debut in 1996. Chief medical officer for the United States women’s World Cup soccer teams in 1999 and 2003Team physician for all of the U.S. men’s national soccer teams since 1991


Five Step PEP program• Avoid vulnerable positions• Increase Flexibility• Increase Strength• Perform Plyometric Exercises• Increase proprioception through

enhancing agility


1. Avoid vulnerable positions

a.land on toesb.knees bentc.Hip, knee, & ankle in alignment

Eg. jump over ball / forward & backwardse.Avoid – straight knee & flat foot (no spring

cushion)


2A. Warm up(then stretch to increase flexibility)

• Jogging cone to cone (20 yd)– Hip, ankle & knee in a straight line– Be sure knees do not cave in, feet do not whip out

• Shuttle Run (side to side – 10 yds then switch)– Bent knees– Bent at waist– On the toes (jump rope)– Be sure knees do not cave in, feet do not whip out, too upright &

straight• Backward running (Up 10, back five, up 10, back five,

Up 10, back five & return)– Bent knees, push off & land on the toes (jump rope)– Avoid flailing outwards with feet, straight legs (knees & ankles)


(Warm up)

2B.Stretch to increase flexibilityStretch each muscle group, increase flexibility & decrease soreness• Calf Stretch

– Heel flat, knee close to straight, 30s, level hips, no bouncing• Quad Stretch – flamingos, can use buddy, pull straight back, no winging• Hamstring Stretch – sit on the ground, one leg straight, reach towards

toes– Keep back straight, pull in & foot T other leg– 30 sec., level hips, No bouncing.

• Inner thigh stretch– On ground, V, straight back– Left arm to right foot– Right arm to left foot

• Hip flexor Stretch– On one knee– Back straight– Other leg 90o

– Lean forward


3. Increasing (leg) strength• Walking Lunges (go to square like hip flexor)

– Hip, knee , & ankle in alignment– knee over ankle as other knee touches ground– Shoulders over hip

• Single foot toes raises (balance & calf strengthening)– Bend one leg to elevate foot off ground– Back and planting leg straight– rise up to peak height slowly, balance

• Russian Hamstring (pairs)– Kneel– straight back– partner holding ankles – lean forward – three sets of five reps. Back stays straight.


4. PlyometricsExercises to build Power, strength & speed

• The science of plyometrics rests on the finding that muscles respond especially well to being subjected to rapid alternation of lengthening and shortening while resistance is being continuously applied to them.

• Land softly on toes with bent knee, back straight

• Designed to build Power, strength & speed


4. Plyometrics• Side hop (over cone/ball) 20x

• Forward/backward hop (over cone/ball 20x)

• Build to Single leg hop (over cone/ball) 20x

• Jumping headers (key - soft landing, bent knee)

• Scissor jumps (like lunges), knee over ankle 20 x


5. Proprioception / agility• Diagonal run, forward & backward running

– Hip, knee & ankle in alignment

• Diagonal shuttle run (switching sides)

• Bounding run (ballistic stretch)


Cool down (end of training 10 min)

• Light jogging (2 x field width)• Light strength training

– Bridging• On back• Pull feet up• Knees bent• Lift butt off ground• Lift right & left legs while keeping hips square (30 x)• As strength & agility increase, use a ball under the feet

– Straight Crunches, 30 x hands over knees to tibial tuberosity

– Side Crunches Drop legs to side & repeat, both hands over knee 30 x both sides


Cool down stretches• Hamstrings• Calves• Inner thigh• Quads• Low back

– On back, each knee to chest while other is flat– On back, both knee to chest, if back hurts – stop!

• Figure four stretch– Left ankle over right knee– Hand around right thigh– Gently pull towards chest– Repeat with other foot

• Butter fly stretch– sitting, foot soles together, knees out– lower knees & pull in feet – hold for thirty sec


PEP Review• Avoid vulnerable positions• Increase Flexibility• Increase Strength• Perform Plyometric Exercises• Increase proprioception through

enhancing agilityJock Hamilton

Dribbling – Use all Foot Surfaces!Five Technical Parts

1. Touch – all foot surfaces2. Vision – line of focus, looking up3. Turning – acceleration 4. Shielding - protecting the ball 5. Beating an opponent – jukes & fakes

(demonstrate & develop each)


Dribbling Build-up1. Top touch2. Side to side & role3. Inside/outsideX24. Pull back turn, R to L5. Inside Hook (2)6. Outside Hook (3)7. Stop turn (4)8. Cruyff (5)9. step over10.scissors11.Modified Maridona

• Top touches• Dribble in confined space• Go through old moves• Static build up to Cruyff – R

& L & R & L• All moves in confined space

(PacMan?)• 1 V 1 (Central goal dribble

through)

http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&safe=off&sa=X&oi=spell&resnum=0&ct=result&cd=1&q=Cruyff&spell=1�


Teaching Dribbling - TouchStatic to dynamic. Use build-up!

• Circle – Everyone with a ball• Top touches • Side to side• Pull backs • Side rolls• Push inside – outside change foot & repeat• Inside outside to inside outside• Push behind / drag back• Dribble distance using right, left only, inside-outside

top and return around flag or teammate


Dribbling - Vision

• Explain line of focus• Demonstrate dribble & hand sign for

takeover• Involve rest of players• Observe (see) and correct (say – use PIE)• Move to LA freeway or to turns


Technical Warm-up


Dribbling Delay VS Penetration

Also use for defending from the rear & pressure while shooting


Dribbling / Penetration

Variation on crab soccer or arm link etc.


Ball Control – First Touch• Sole of foot (the wedge, ground ball)• Inside of foot (ground ball)• Top of Instep (in air)• Side of foot, drag control (in air)• Wedge (bottom of foot - in air)• Thigh – side (in air)• Thigh - top (in air)• Stomach• Chest (air & driven balls)


Ball Control(formally known as trapping)

• Maintain eye contact• Move into line of ball’s flight• Arms comfortable for balance• Body relaxed & balanced• Ball cushioned in contract (absorb

energy)• Set up for next move


Passing – 5 Characteristics1. Accuracy2. Pace (weight, strength, speed)3. Timing4. Deception5. Advancing ball &/or maintaining

possession
