Thanks for the reply, placidcyclist61! 🙂 Does anyone here act as a personal trainer who might be willing to offer some guidance on the forum? Thanks in advance!

I honestly don't get why there’s so much mockery and negativity lately. I truly believe this is the pivotal year for these young players to step up and distinguish themselves from their peers, especially since they're transitioning into such a high-stakes, professional level. If you don't have anything constructive to contribute, please just move on. ambertinker41, thank you for actually showing some insight here! 🙂

First off, I just wanted to say hello to everyone here! This is my very first post, so please bear with me if I mess anything up or get a little lost. I’m 14 years old and stand about 5'3". I've been playing soccer since I was five, and things have been going pretty well for me on the field so far. My main goal right now is to pack on some muscle—I'm currently 92 lbs—specifically focusing on my legs and arms (though I'm actually quite happy with my core for now!). I'm looking for some guidance on what foods I should be fueling up with, what I definitely need to avoid, and which exercises would be best for me, including sets and reps. Since I'm aiming to play professional soccer one day, your expert opinions mean the world to me. Any advice at all is much appreciated! 🙂
