When it comes to stretching, everyone has their own habits and beliefs! As a result, many popular misconceptions have arisen, which we'll now attempt to clear up by focusing on one question: WHEN should you stretch? In other words what's the best time to stretch when we're playing football, particularly during training sessions?
