PROFESSIONAL SOCCER player Sebastian Lletget’s career with the Los Angeles Galaxy started off on the, ahem, right foot. In 2015, his first season with the Galaxy, Lletget scored five goals in his first seven starts in Major League Soccer (MLS). 

Unfortunately, his stint with the U.S. men’s national team didn’t begin so well. Minutes after banging home his first goal for Team USA in March, Lletget limped off with a foot injury that required surgery and will likely sideline him through July. 

Still, you can bet the 24-year-old Bay Area native will be back later this MLS season—and finding the back of the net on the regular. Here’s how to get a body like his.

STRENGTH AND POWER 

“MLS is a physical league, so when I joined the Galaxy, I wanted to get bigger and stronger and not get knocked off the ball,” says Lletget. “I train in the gym after practice two to four times per week. I focus on having a strong core and lower body more than anything. I’ll do a lot of planks, crunches, deadlifts, and whatever else my strength coach has for me that day.”
