It's not that bad. How you do it depends on your surroundings. When I was doing a gallon a day, I worked at the Health Food Center and just stored the gallon in the sports nutrition cooler. I'd sip on it for 7-9 hours depending on how long my shift was. However, I think I loved the gallon of keifer a day over the gallon of milk a day. Albeit, you ahve to be a bit more picky when you're paying for the stuff rather than when you're getting it for free.

As a coach and one who is surrounded by coaches on a daily basis, your coach isn't not concerned about your health and fitness. I guarantee they're extremely concerned about your fitness. However, they're not concerned with the amount of muscle you're carrying or what your deadlift max might be compared to a football coach.
Are you on a club team, a competitive team, or a school team? Your body will adapt to the level of conditioning your coach is commanding and you can increase intensity and volume accordingly. I'm very familiar with soccer-I play and coach the sport so I know what you're going through and understand the level of your training.
I think you'll find that if you can get through the pain and work your squats and deadlifts that you won't be as sore, as you get stronger and your work capacity increases, so will your performance at practice and on the field.
I have my guys and girls in the weightroom and HIIT much more than long endurance runs.
if you lift heavy i guess, but doing light squats can actually be helpful towards recovery. It's called active recovery.
dude !! i feel your pain !!all you really can do during a true intense soccer season is maintain and its hard to do that i have to eat around 3000 cals a day easily just to not lose weight !!!

Wait...when is your soccer season? The HS season here doesn't start until January...taht's when we start our scrimmages. I'll have my guys and girls start their pre-season training in October after I finish with my middle school team.
Pre-season=weight training, sprints, basic foot skills and passing skills, and injury prevention.
You lost 130 pounds on deadlift since august?
his diet must have really s*cked
lol you put a asterik for sucked?
lol you made a post to point out i made an asterik?
Less about diet and more about his weight lifting routine sucked in that it was absent of certain lifts.
Probably true, I deadlifted once before the max I attempted yesterday. And it was like 5x3 because of the preseason for soccer. I was way too tired to train but I tried.
It's actually a good thing to have a bit of mass to your frame and using this to build strength for football (soccer) players. There's alot of situations in the game where out muscling and using strength against opponents can be very advantageous in attack or defense. Thus, upper body strength is vastly overlooked in football.
Obviously, though you don't want to be too big as it will affect your game, making you sluggish. + every extra pound that you gain that you don't need is an extra pound you have to lug around for 90 minutes, depending on substitutions. I guess what i'm getting at is that you need to find a medium as to what is the right size for you. Of course, this also depends on what level you're playing at. If you were someone like me playing at the absolute lowest level and just playing for fun than finding that medium isn't really an issue. On the other side, if you're a serious player than you do need to find it.
