"3 exercises to improve your soccer speed that everyone should include" Mat Herold
"Glutes- Biggest and strongest muscle involved in hip extension- responsible for driving your leg into the ground which ultimately propels your body forward. While running with good form at top speed the glutes get a great stimulus. Many soccer players never reach top speed when playing and even when they do, they run with too much use of the quadriceps."

"The one-leg squat places a high proprioceptive demand upon the body. It challenges the joint and muscle receptors of the lower body to provide feedback regarding joint and limb position and reposition them accordingly. The proprioceptors assist the body to generate movement in a form that is appropriate to the demands placed upon the body."
