Peak-Readiness - Inclement Weather

Inclement weather is a fact of life. As soccer players, we don't hide from it, we prepare for it. A good club bag for unknown whether conditions will include many of the following:

Players

  • Layers are important, good laying allows you to adjust for the temperature. Extra shirts will allow you to adjust as necessary for the conditions.

  • Sweatshirts

  • Training Appropriate Winter Hats or Ear Muffs

  • Thermal Face Masks or Balaclava Head Gear

  • Water-proofed Rain Jackets or Training Windbreakers

  • Warm Field-Player Gloves

  • Stretch Pants and Tops

  • Long Winter Jackets

Parents

  • Waterproof All-Weather Clothing

  • Waterproof All-Weather Footwear

  • Waterproof Temperature-Appropriate Jacket and accessories

  • Umbrella

  • Steaming Hot Coffee

Coaches

Add to the above a heaping dose of understanding and intestinal fortitude because inclement weather seldom results in perfect technique.
