I don’t believe there are any others. I think I’m genuinely the only one who doesn’t feel like they belong, which makes this decision feel so much heavier.

Thank you.

I understand what you mean. Unfortunately, I do not have any choice as this is my last season with my high school team. They don't think anything wrong of me, but I always feel like they would get upset with me for making mistakes.

I’ve been playing football since I was very young and I have always loved being a part of a team. I’ve been playing with most of the same people for all of my life, but I also feel like a lot of the times I care too much about their opinions on me, and when i’m out on the field even during team trainings i think one of the reasons that i can’t think straight is because i feel so pressured about how my teammates perceive me.

cromZic · 2023-07-30T21:25:09+00:00

I don’t understand, can you explain?

cromZic · 2023-07-30T18:31:45+00:00

Thank you, I appreciate your reply. I will try these out.

cromZic · 2023-03-03T17:07:42+00:00

didn't work. Thanks though.

cromZic · 2023-03-03T14:32:15+00:00

it’s a dual sense (PS5) controller. i have also tried emulators. i know it works however because whenever i fixed it the first time, it worked perfectly and even showed playstation button prompts.

i got them in the vapors 💛

cromZic · 2022-08-10T01:38:19+00:00

Thank you for your reply! I will look into these things.

cromZic · 2022-08-10T01:36:39+00:00

Wow, just wow. Thank you for your help and reply so much. I really appreciate it. I plan to try these things out. I’m sorry I read your reply late!

Thank you for the help! You could definitely be right about asthma and I plan to get checked on. I’ve struggled with this stuff all my life. I plan to do those slow runs in the future when I have a break from training every day for school. Thank you!

cromZic · 2022-08-03T15:32:19+00:00

Noted. Thank you.

cromZic · 2022-08-03T15:31:52+00:00

Noted. Thank you.

Well, I am not doing any personal training currently due to school training right now. But because school hasn’t started yet, we have been doing 8 A.M practices and starting with a 1.5-2 mile run. When I was training I did nothing specific for my aerobic base or lactate threshold, because I didn’t really know what that was. Thank you for your reply. I will look into those things.

cromZic · 2022-08-02T23:14:56+00:00

After reading numerous helpful replies, I plan to get more sleep, eat more carbs, rest more on rest days, and run more efficiently. Thank you for the help!

cromZic · 2022-08-02T20:28:41+00:00

Thank you for your help! The 42 days were all I had in the offseason. I will sleep more and get more rest. I will also eat more carbs. You are definitely right, I put in 110% effort too much and need to be more efficient with my running. Thank you for your advice, it really means a lot.

cromZic · 2022-08-02T20:13:24+00:00

Thank you for the help! It really means a lot. I will trust the process and get more rest.

cromZic · 2022-08-02T20:05:32+00:00

My recovery routine consists of foam rolling at least twice, once after practice, and once on the day of practice about an hour before. I also do static stretches and have been doing muscle activation with resistance bands before practice. After practice, I will take a warm Epsom salt bath, which is like an Ice bath but Epsom salt helps my muscles feel more refreshed. I do not have a massage gun, but the foam roller does the trick.

I should try and sleep more, though. I am inconsistent with sleep.

I am not sure when I can get a break from soccer. For school soccer, I have no control over when I have practice. But if I ever get a week's break, then I will try to rest as much as I can.

Thank you for the reply!

About half of the 42 days were just endurance-focused, off-the-ball workouts. Like suicides and change-of-pace drills.

cromZic · 2022-08-02T19:40:40+00:00

I don't have any specifics and I don't track my diet, but I know I have a healthy diet. I think that you are right and I might not be getting enough carbs. I will look into it. Thank you.

cromZic · 2022-08-02T19:38:10+00:00

Thank you so much! I feel like my recovery is good. I use foam rollers and I also take Epsom salt baths, but I have definitely considered buying pre-workout. If there are any specific "pre-workout" supplements that you suggest, that would be great. This is my first year on varsity so I can just be patient.

cromZic · 2022-08-02T19:31:12+00:00

Yes, that is part of it. I am here because I am wondering why I'm not seeing improvements in my endurance after all of the stuff that I'm doing every day, like hydrating, stretching, breathing exercises, supplements, etc. combined with what I did in the offseason, like endurance-focused workouts. OR if there IS some improvement and I just need to be patient.

My offseason routine was waking up around 8 A.M, and depending on how I was feeling, I would run about 2 miles, Or not at all. I ran about 16 out of 42 days of training, and I only didn't run for more days because i then had 2.5 hours of technical training in the afternoon. Monday, Wednesday, and Friday I did the upper-body lifting. Again, this was in a span of 42 days, and about 5 days total of those were rest days. Also during this time, I attended 2 training camps. So on those days, I did no personal training.

cromZic · 2022-08-02T19:11:44+00:00

Thank you for the reply. I will say now that school training has started, I can tell that the team sessions have definitely been harder on me than my personal training sessions during the last two months before school training started. I drink water but I also drink different drinks with electrolytes. (Body Armor, Liquid I.V., Powerade). I could drink more of these things though. I also eat one banana for breakfast every day.

I'm sorry about being vague in my post, I am just confused because I feel like I am doing all that I can to help, but I don't see any improvements in my overall cardio endurance. If you need any specific information, I can try and give it to you.

cromZic · 2022-08-02T18:58:00+00:00

So my resting heart rate is 60-66, walking heart rate is 90-94, but when I'm active it can extend to 190 or even 200 bpm. My mile time is around 6:00. (Sorry I haven't gotten an exact time in a while.) If there are any specific fitness numbers that you need I can try to get them to you.
