How to become an athletic footballer | Day 24: The Most Important Muscle for a Footballer

Stop doing glute workouts

Stop the banded glute “activation" warmup…

Yes it's very important to have strong glutes but…

Truth bomb: Targeting your glutes in the gym or with bands does not make you glute-dominant

In fact, it is more or less bodybuilding for your glutes...

It does nothing to actually increase functional glute strength

Which comes from the foot to glute fascial connection

This means your glutes are activated unconsciously which is the only way it can work on the pitch

It does not work to consciously try to squeeze your glutes on the pitch. Athleticism must be a part of you…

This is why if you isolate the glute muscle in your warmup with a band, this is artificially tiring out the muscle in isolation

The opposite of what you want...

Remember athleticism is a full body story

Everything is interconnected and Entangled. Every muscle has it's role inside the fascial tensegrity unit we call the human body

No magical warmup is going to transform you into an elite footballer 30 minutes before the match...

If you want change, you must change. That means deep athletic transformation. That's what the Way of the Natural does for you.
