3 Must-do foam rolling excercises



Here are my three favorite foam roller exercises for soccer players:

I get it.

 After practice, you are tired and sweaty.

 The last thing you want to do is spend time rolling on the ground.

 I understand. I was the same way until my college coach instituted mandatory foam rolling before and after practice.

 Then I got it. 

 It was like receiving a mini-massage right after practice.

 I noticed the difference in my recovery.

 I felt way fresher the following day!

 Here is my favorite foam roller, but you can honestly do these exercises with a soccer ball.

So here are my top three must-do exercises (links to videos included) :

  3x30 secs for each of these

  Calf:

 -Start with the foam roller underneath your ankle; work your way up to the base of the knee. Slowly move it back and forth. You can cross your legs to feel more pressure on the calf. Swap sides

 Video example here.

 Hamstring:

 -Position: start with the foam roller underneath the crook of the knee and slowly work you way up to your glute. Slowly move it up and down the hamstring. Swap sides 

 Video example here.

Quads

 -Position: Lie with your stomach on the ground. Start with the foam roller at the bottom of the Quad muscle( or at the top of the knee) Slowly work you up and down the quad muscle. Swap sides after 30 seconds.
