Question by Wolf guy lupine: What are the best stretches to do before and after sprinting and football training?
I play on the school football team. We go to tournments every couple of weeks. I play in defense and have found out that stamina and speed can be crucial. So a couple of nights a week I go for a sprint or jog along with controling the ball with both feet.
But I have trouble with warming down since I still get cramp after.
So does anyone know any stretches to do before and after going for a run and playing football?

you should probably stretch out your calves becuase that’s the main muscle you use when running
what i do is sit on the ground and put my legs straight out in front of me and reach for my feet and i do it a couple of times because i usually need to stretch a lot b4 any type of running
i also do the stretch where you put your left leg straight out to the side while my right knee is bent bringing my right leg towards me (do for both sides)–it may not stretch out your calf but it also helps
my favorite stretch before i run stretches out the lower part of my calf–you get in the push-up position but bring your arms in closer so your butt sticks up in the air, you put your right ankle over your left or left ankle over your right and keep your toes from the foot underneath straight and try to put your heel to the ground
hope i could help
