What is the quickest way to get in physical shape for a soccer tournament?

I would train as usual because the more worked up you get the worse you play. Don't put it in full mode practicing. Just practice about half an hour more than you usually do. No need to get all worked up about it.

lol, firedup!!!  \nOk, let's be serious. First of all you must know the amount of time until the competition(if any). Then you will make a timetable so you can do practice at least 3 times a day... Run, do all kind of exercices and the most important: even you will get tired and your arms will heart because the effort, try and do a little more. And don't get lazy if you are tired. Try and eat healthy food with a lot of vitamins and minerals. And it is best to ask someone who knows more about sports (like a fitness trainer). And before doing these go to your medic and see if you are 100% healty. Cheers!

dont concentrate so much on the meals! eh, become an all-round player, focus on speed, agility, reaction and of course ball handling...your shot will develop by itself, just make sure you practice passing,passing and passing. Passing equals goals.

You want simple drills such as dribbling around cones, practicing shooting with your left foot in your spare time, one on ones with your mates, and you need to do some continuous and circuit training to get your general fitness up...as for controlling the ball at high speeds try some fartlek training...this is running at different speeds over different terrain!

DRIBBLING....go out on the black top or gym and dribble around (under your legs, left hand, right hane, etc.) for about 23-30 mins...\n\nShooting....uhh..i guess just find your form and shoot around..\n\ndefence....SHUFFLE YOUR LEGS OR WUT EVRR...SLIDE LEGS SIDE BY SIDE LIKE YOU DO ON DEFENSE...and keep your hands up while doing it..\n\n\nI know i didn't explain it right...but good luck!!

Step 1: Get down on all fours with your head up and hour focus forward. Keep your left knee bent and lift your left leg out to the side in a 90 degree angle (or as high as you can)\nStep 2: Now extend and straighten your left leg so your toes are pointed and straight out to the side. Then bend your knee again and return to the starting position. Repeat SLOWLY 10-12 times on each leg. Try to do three sets of these kicks and in order for it to actually work, you should feel it burning at the end of each set.\n\n\nAnother way is to do lunges but you have to at least 50 in a row but slowly. make sure your knee does NOT go past your toes and that the other knee almost touches the ground. To keep balance and form, lace your fingers on top of your head to keep them out of the way. I promise you that this works, our cross country team did this after our run and our butts were so sore (but worked out) that I could barely walk for 5 days. \n\nAnother way is to do squats. Again, make sure your knees do not go past your toes because you will get knee problems if they extend too far. \nStep one: Stand with your legs spread more than shoulder width apart. \nNext pretend you are going to sit on a chair (so like stick your butt out so you're squatting) and touch the floor with just your finger tips. \nStep three: Come back up and place your feet together. Then step right with your right foot and squat, touch the floor and come back up. and repeat 15-20 times (you should do as many as you can but three sets, and then gradually increase your repetitions) \nStep four: Repeat squats only slide left with your left foot so you get and equal work out on both sides.\n\nAlso, if you lie on your back with your knees bent and arms resting at your sides, palms down, straighten your right leg up toward the ceiling so it's in a line with your left knee. then press your shoulders and upper back into the floor as you squeeze your butt and lift your hips off the floor; hold (so you kind of look like a right triangle) then keep your leg extended and abs tight throughout the move. Don't use your arms to help lift your body weight--just your leg and butt muscles. Slowly release your butt back down to the floor do 10 reps and switch using your left leg (lifted) and your right leg bent on the floor.

Two words: strenuous exercise. I recommend running, but anything that takes lots of energy will work.

I helped my brother tone up for his soccer finals so his day typically went like this:\n\n- wake up at 7 am\n- eat fruit for breakfast\n- lift weights (just little dumbells)\n- go bicycling\n- eat a TLC sandwich for lunch (that's tomato lettuce cheese between 2 slices of whole-wheat bread)\n- go swim laps\n- eat a salad (lots of vegetables and fruits plus fish and olive oil) for dinner\n\nHe's very energetic nowadays and remember to get your 8 hours of sleep so don't stay up past 11pm!

Run with the ball very often without looking at it and obtain really good endurance. Train side to side agility. Practice.

start running...alot.....my suggestion is if you have a treadmill or a stationary bike put it on the interval mode and go all out. try to exercise as intense as possible, this will get results faster.\n\nthe funnest and most practical way is to actually play sports. get some friends together and play volleyball if you can. if not, get some friends and play 2 on 2 pickup basketball full court.....this will really get you in shape....if you cant play b-ball, try some tennis. get a fit friend and challenge her to a game. you run alot especially back n forth which will improve your speed.\n\ntry running some sprints too.......about 40-50 yards.....at least 10 in a row with only 15-30 seconds rest in between.....\n\na healthy diet would increase results as well...\n\ngood luck hope you make the team!!!!

I know it's been said... but...\n\nRun faster\nSwim faster and \nCycle faster\n\nOne last thing you could try is train harder and longer.\n\nLess junk food, more vitamins and protien, and stack up on carbs a week before\n\nBut there ain't no way if you ain't got it in ya!

No real help for this weekend. Step up your program.  Run up stairs for 15 minutes to tone and shape your legs and thighs.  Power walk for 1 hour a day three days per week.  Wear leg weights to increase the benefits.  Crunch daily.  Race your bike for 10 minutes and ride rapidly for 10 minutes.  Alternate like that for 1 hour four days per week.  Drop all added sugars.  Drink 8-10 glasses of water every day.  No sugary drinks.  Try yogurt as your breakfast five days per week.  Do not eat anything more than carrots or apple slices after 6 pm and nothing at all after 8 pm.  You will be ready and fit by August.

having played soccer my whole life i have lots of advice for you.  sit ups...do them all day long.  that is where the power comes from for your shots.  stretch everyday, morning and night.  dont forget to stretch your back.  do calisthenics.  knee ups, shorts sprints..you know all those little annoying running drills that coaches make you do.  try to dribble the ball as much as possible.  and when inside use a tennis ball...it is small and helps to develop the touch on the ball, and your confidence in dribbling.  start a running regime...start small, a mile to a mile and a half.  then work your way up to longer distances as you feel comfortable.  eat right and drink lots of water...cut out pop.  and yes do push ups, and chin ups
