Boost Your Athletic Performance on the Pitch With Personalized Soccer Training
When it comes to soccer, continuously working to improve every aspect of your game—from speed and agility to ball skills, shooting and passing, to strength training, explosiveness, aerobics, and injury prevention—can make all the difference.
Here at Yortago Athletic Performance and Health in Wesley Chapel, Florida near Tampa, we offer soccer players like you a comprehensive athletic performance enhancement program, focusing on speed, agility, power, strength, conditioning, and endurance.

Our services include in-person training sessions and online training programs, all designed to optimize performance and help soccer players and other athletes excel in their sport.
Why Soccer Players Need Specialized Sports Training
Soccer is a sport that demands constant movement, power, and agility. You have to be able to run for up to 90 minutes, running for up to a mile while maintaining the quality of your performance level throughout the match. To maximize athletic performance during games, players must of course focus on developing their speed, strength, and resilience against injuries during their training off the pitch.
Customized training is essential for soccer players like you to maintain your performance and reach the next level. Within your personalized program, Darren and the Yortago team will design an individualized plan targeting your specific performance goals, whether those are improving sprinting speed, enhancing core stability to improve endurance performance and prevent injuries, improve agility and quickness, enhance endurance and aerobic capacity, and produce explosive power for quick runs, passes and ball strikes.
Yortago serves athletes from nearby cities like Tampa, Orlando, Clearwater, Sarasota, St. Petersburg, and the surrounding areas, ensuring local players have access to world-class training.

“Soccer performance training is about more than conditioning; it’s about building the foundation for explosive power and durability, so players can stay strong throughout the season.” - Darren Paul, Owner/Operator of Yortago |
Speed and Agility: Outrunning the Competition
In soccer, quickness and agility are crucial. Whether you're a forward breaking past defenders, a midfielder working the ball up the pitch, a defender keeping up with the opposing team’s striker, or a goalie having that ‘twitch ability’ to jump one way or the other in a split second, being fast and nimble gives you an advantage.
Darren Paul and Yortago’s soccer performance training focuses on drills that enhance quickness, reaction time, and directional changes.
“Speed and agility training allows players to be quick on their feet and sharp in their reactions,” Darren explains. “You don’t want to just move fast; you want to be able to control that speed efficiently.”
Power Training to Generate Explosive Power
Making quick changes in direction is crucial on the field. Whether you are a striker making that final move to volley that cross or a defender having to suddenly counter a striker’s move, power training can give you that explosive burst of power you need to make a difference.
Strength Training for Injury Prevention and Explosive Power
Strength training is essential for soccer players. Stronger muscles help you push past opponents and protect joints and tendons from injuries. Darren’s personal training targets core muscle groups vital for soccer, including the quadriceps, hamstrings, calves, and glutes.
“Strength training helps athletes in two ways: it reduces the chance of injuries and allows them to perform with more intensity,” says Darren. “I’ve worked with players of every level, from youth to professional, and strength training has been a cornerstone of long-term athletic success.”
Customizing Athletic Performance Training for All Levels
Yortago’s athletic performance programs cater to a wide range of athletes, from emerging youth players to seasoned professionals. This individualized approach is especially effective in personal sports training, where each athlete has unique goals, strengths, and areas for improvement.
Darren has coached players from various positions, understanding that a goalie’s training needs differ from those of a midfielder or forward.
For clients who can’t make it to the Wesley Chapel training facility, Yortago also offers online training, making his expertise accessible to athletes across the country. Remote clients can access tailored workouts designed to mirror the intensity and customization of in-person sessions.
Injury Rehabilitation: Getting Back in the Game
Injuries are a part of any athlete’s journey, but returning to the field stronger and healthier is possible with the right personal training. Yortago specializes in rehabilitation programs for players with past injuries, providing strength and stability exercises to support recovery. Darren’s experience includes rehabilitating various injuries, such as:
- Ankle and Knee: Recovery exercises focusing on mobility, stability, and strength.
- Hamstring and Calf: Customized stretching, strengthening, and conditioning for muscle injuries.
- Back and Hip: Core stability and flexibility exercises for lower back and hip strain.
“Rehabilitation training needs patience and precision,” Darren says. “Rebuilding strength while preventing re-injury requires a well-planned approach. I work closely with each athlete to ensure they’re ready, both physically and mentally, to get back on the field.”
