Good exercises for soccer player running out of breath
I coach a U14 Boys soccer team and one of my players says he runs out of breath very easily. I used to have this problem (still do when I play).
He is asking for conditioning exercises he could do to develop his lung capacity and keep him from getting winded so easily. I've told him to warm up a lot before getting on to the field, but are there other things he can do besides this? It seems like a common issue so I've got to believe there are exercises I can recommend he do.
BTW - he is sure he doesn't have any respiratory issues likes asthma and he's not overweight or anything like that. He's a reasonably healthy 14year old.
Any ideas or suggestions are much appreciated.
