Rosco

In the sport of soccer there is lots of conditioning and running. I knew that playing college soccer there will be lots more running than high school. In fact there is a lot more running in college than high school. This off season we got a strength and conditioning coach named Rosco. Rosco is Eastern University's strength and conditioning coach. He indeed sucks!! Every Wednesday we wake up at 6:30 for conditioning we go down to the gym and he is waiting for us and we start right away going at with weights,abs and running. The worst was the first day when we each grabbed a 45lb plate weight and did numerous different exercises. I would say 3/4 of our team was throwing up! YUCK! Another day he set the treadmills to 15mph 4 minute mile time and a 7.0 incline. We had to run on them for 30 seconds then get off do pull ups and sit ups then get back on. We were getting on and off of these moving treadmills. Well my klutzy self slipped and got burns all over my leg. it hurt and Rosco said oh well they don't look bad. Each wednesday morning we do this and lets just say it is not fun at all here is a video that shows many of the plate weights exersies we use. 
 Now I do Not know who the Commandos are but I use the video as a little examples.

Rosko makes me regret playing soccer sometimes. College athletics makes you commit to working hard! if you do not want to put in the work do not play.

  1. Kyle,
    What an intense video! Learning you guys do that gets me motivated! It's amazing to learn the amount of work you guys put in because alot of people, including myself may not know what it really takes to be a college soccer player. Keep working hard!
