Sup fitness,

Soccer player here. To be precise, I was a senior in high school last year and played varisty 3 of 4 years, and with a traveling club in the off season.

I am still playing for a club, but not with high school any more.

My question I come to you with, is soccer a good enough work out to keep the weight off as I begin to age. I pretty much plan on playing my entire life. I dont want to put muscle on our anything, just to stay fairly skinny.

Soccer is excellent at managing weight, but your tastes will change as you age, as will your body. I see plenty of illegal mexicans playing soccer everyday in the park, and what I noticed is that the young ones are all lean and fit, but the older ones all have chicken legs with beer bellies. You're going to need to incorporate other forms of exercise eventually.

3 words

knees
stamina
structural problems

ok 4 words, but till problems that you will have later in life, if you are running also expect to have some kind of knee issue, some people luck out but putting alot of stress on them for long periods of time is never good. Stamina, while its a good work out now and will be for a while, your stamina will go down and you wont be able to push as hard as you age so it will be less and less effective

lastly structual defects. Honestly dont expect to be playing soccer regularly or a lot when you get older, bad shit you have done to your body will catch up to you and the chances you will have some fucked up body part that forces you to take it easy some days is almost 100 %(unless you are careful about your posture and impact on joints but hardly anyone is).
So yeah, as you age, soccer might not be the best of options and you will probably have to switch to less intense stuff to keep burning off cals

Yes, as long as you keep a good diet. Especially yes if you're a forward.
