Strength and conditioning (S&C) coaches might write and execute brilliant training plans, but without the correct fuel the expected training adaptations might be severely undermined. An S&C coach might not have the same knowledge and understanding of this as a sports dietitian, but an elementary knowledge of the metabolic demands of the sport and how to meet them could already help a lot.

Jump training in football is commonly utilised by strength & conditioning (S&C) coaches within football (soccer).  In the past this would often be referred to as plyometrics training, but more recently the term jump training is preferred to indicate that not all these activities are sufficiently using the stretch-shortening cycle (SSC), which is an essential element to classify movements as plyometrics training. This means non-plyometric activities, such as  for instance jumps with long contact time, all have their place within the training. It should however be clear that plyometrics is an essential part of a footballers training regime.
