Soccer is an extreme lower body sport. In order to increase power in striking and explosiveness, my solution has been hitting heavy squats.
Although you don’t need to perform heavy lifts to this degree, I deemed it necessary for the sake of building up the strength to kick 60 yards.
My coach always said if we couldn’t send a goal kick past half field, we couldn’t play.
If you wanna increase your power, I recommend hitting some heavy squats, recovering with lots of protein, then go out a day later to hit some long balls.
It worked for me!
