    One? You have higher hopes for society than I do.

      Op here. Appreciate the helpful responses. And as an FYI, my daughter isn’t an elite athlete. She just wants to improve her fitness because she’s puberty and the changes to her body has negatively impacted her overall fitness - some attributes that came easy to her before aren’t so easy now. If she wants to improve her overall fitness, and she does, doesn’t require Amy other reason than she wants to fit herself. There are A LOT of reasons a player might not want to talk to her coach about it too.
      Does she want to ...or do you want her to?

      If her desire isn't at a point where SHE wants to run a couple miles a few days a week, advancing the discussion into more elaborate training regimens is pointless.

        How many times must the poster clearly state SHE wants to get more fit? Running sucks and it's always a good place to start. It's tough on the body and boring. Having a varied and more interesting training regime is not only better for overall health and fitness, but also makes it much more interesting and likely they'll stick with it.

          Know of a couple girls who at U12 were strong and fast and stood out on the field. Fast forward four years later and one of the girls is incredibly fit and continues to stand out on the pitch. The other one, not so much. She’s much slower now and it’s harder for her to defend fast forwards who take advantage of speed. Genetics can be cruel to female players.

              avoid the treadmill. it's very bad for the knees. Do elliptical with pace instead.

They were too far away from us to use on a regular basis but I paid for an evaluation of his running technique that proved to be quite helpful. He was able to take their feedback and incorporate it into his workout routine. The nearest to you in the Acton area is Smithfield RI or Epping, NH. https://www.parisischool.com/.
                Thanks for the response. Will look into it.

                  Whatever she does, she can decrease the likelihood of injury with proper warm-up and cool-down regimen. Also, include posterior chain strength training to reduce likelihood of knee-specific injury. FIFA 11+. Micheli Center.
