What clubs in SW WA and OR offer fitness training

Just out of curiosity, what was the main priority before? I would think aggression, tactics, and speed of play would always be near the top. Was Ron not doing a good job of coaching?

Ron did an excellent job at coaching. He has a great way with the younger players and his focus was on skills first, speed second and specific game tactics were last. SSC changes coaches every 2 years, his time was over.

The lack of aggression, (full) team speed and specific game tactics has shown lately. At the top level of play, CRUSH is lacking in all three (overall team wide).

Mike Ford is the fitness instructor at Thusc and yes he is an ex-navy seal. He is fantastic and works the kids hard.

Yes he does! But in my short experience the success of THUSC fitness goes beyond just the organized Wednesday night fitness training. This is the first club we have been with that has assigned workouts from the coach that the players are responsible for. They have a workout sheet and turn it in every two weeks. Is this common in other Metro area clubs? I am a fitness professional myself and have been very impressed with the level of fitness training my girls have gotten since joining. And in that home workout they have soccer skills work they do too. It keeps my girls not only fit and focused, but it gives them specific things to work on. They have always had desire to do things on their own at home, but just didn't know what to do. I think the club's focus on fitness is fantastic and helps build lifelong workout habits beyond the soccer field.
